LwIP compilation errors/warnings when enabling IPv6 feature

[STM32_ZA]

Hi All,

You may encounter some LwIP compilation errors/warnings when enabling IPv6 feature due to compiler packing management implemented in the system\arch include files

1. EWARM warnings:

Warning[Pa039]: use of address of unaligned structure member \Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\netif\lowpan6_common.c 504

Workaround: Disable flag PACK_STRUCT_USE_INCLUDES  by uncommenting the #define PACK_STRUCT_USE_INCLUDES line in arch\cc.h include file

2. MDK-ARM errors:

../Middlewares/Third_Party/LwIP/src/netif/lowpan6_common.c(504): error: #167: argument of type "__packed u32_t *" is incompatible with parameter of type "void *restrict"

Workaround: Don’t packet the IPv6 struct by replacing #define PACK_STRUCT_BEGIN __packed by #define PACK_STRUCT_BEGIN in arch\cc.h

3. GNU compiler:

No errors/warnings

I recently has one IPV6 issue, that IPV6 DNS request return failed.

LwIP works fine in IPv4, but when I enabled IPV6, the DNS resolve failed.

I set IPV6 DNS server, then using lwip_getaddrinfo, but lwip_getaddrinfo return failed.

 const char * googleDNS1="2001:4860:4860::8888";
 
 const char * googleDNS2="2001:4860:4860::8844";
 
 ip6_addr_t addrV6_1, addrV6_2;
 
 int ret1=ip6addr_aton(googleDNS1,&addrV6_1 );
 
 int ret2=ip6addr_aton(googleDNS2,&addrV6_2 );
 
 printf("DNS convert returns %d, %d\r\n", ret1, ret2);
 
 ip_addr_t dns_addr1,dns_addr2 ;
 
 dns_addr1.type=IPADDR_TYPE_V6;
 
 memcpy(&(dns_addr1.u_addr.ip6), &addrV6_1, sizeof(addrV6_1));
 
 dns_setserver(0, &dns_addr1);//google IPV6 primary, 2001:4860:4860::8888
 
 dns_addr2.type=IPADDR_TYPE_V6;
 
 memcpy(&(dns_addr2.u_addr.ip6), &addrV6_2, sizeof(addrV6_2));
