compilation error after update to V 1.13.0

[Hoffart]

Since the latest update to STM32Cube V 1.13.0 I get an error during compilation of sysmem.c:

error: unknown type name 'caddr_t'

The reason seems to be a missing path to sys/types.h. At least adding

#include <sys/types.h>

to my code solves the problem.But I don't like editing system code.Is there any better solution?

When a bug occurs with the Arduino IDE, many users stop using that version. They use the previous version until a new version is released. Maybe that's the case this time with the STM32CubeIDE. I've seen other similar bug reports here.

I just noticed that the function called inside sysmem.c is nowhere called.

Deleting the file solves the problem - it seems it is not needed any more.

Hello @RhSilicon 

Yes indeed the GCC version was upgraded from GCC10 to GCC11 with the STM32CubeIDE 1.13.0.

You are right with the solution you have proposed of changing the caddr_t to void* or include the <sys/types.h> to sysmem.c.

With this been said, I will raise the issue internally to review it and provide a permanent solution.

Hi, I believe there was some mistake in the forum when mentioning the OP, I ended up being mentioned, but I am not the author of the mentioned proposal. Thanks.

There is a mistake and it even has a name...
