Hi,

I'm trying to install Dovecot 1.0RC22 on an old Trustix 1.5 box and am getting the compiler warnings:

quota-storage.c:275: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic

convert-storage.c:50: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic

acl-backend-vfile.c:212: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic

Those lines all contain simple memset() calls. There's no void * arithmetic done in them at least directly. I'd say Trustix has made memset() a macro that does some extra checks, and they've messed it up a bit by using void* arithmetic. Maybe doesn't show with other software because most software don't bother enabling enough compiler warnings.

Anyway, you can safely ignore them.
