GCC-14

[benbierens]

In GCC-14, pointer compatibility warnings have been promoted to errors.
This applies a compatible pointer type definition.

what about compilers for which the flag does not exist (clang, older gcc etc)? ie has the option to actually fix the pointers been explored?

I did look into that. I was unable to find out what the nim equivalent of the C type should be. It's a const void* const * const. Clearly it aligns with nim ptr pointer, but I have no idea how to make GCC see that. If you have the answer, I'd be happy to learn a thing or two!

Most our libraries have had to go through this process such as status-im/nim-bearssl#62 - just look for gcc 14 in any bumped deps.

OK that was disgustingly simple. Thanks so much, Arne!
