Bug#871649: lv2-dev: abuse of non portable pointer of uint8_t type

[Joël Krähemann]

Hi

Might be just a programming error. But it is important that you don't point
uint8_t pointer to a struct.

Might be some language basics missing?

It is the same for atoms. Just use void pointers, please.

Bests,
Joël
