g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange() should work with const pointers. Add a test for that.
It seems clang 9.0.0-2.fc32 does not like this:
../glib/tests/atomic.c:93:9: warning: incompatible pointer types passing 'typeof ((((void *)0))) *' (aka 'void **') to parameter of type 'const char **' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
res = g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange (&vp_str, NULL, str);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../glib/gatomic.h:192:44: note: expanded from macro 'g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange'
__atomic_compare_exchange_n ((atomic), &gapcae_oldval, (newval), FALSE, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST) ? TRUE : FALSE; \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../glib/tests/atomic.c:96:9: warning: incompatible pointer types passing 'typeof ((((void *)0))) *' (aka 'void **') to parameter of type 'const char **' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
res = g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange (&vp_str_vol, NULL, str);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../glib/gatomic.h:192:44: note: expanded from macro 'g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange'
__atomic_compare_exchange_n ((atomic), &gapcae_oldval, (newval), FALSE, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST) ? TRUE : FALSE; \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that this clang version already issues various compiler warnings for this test. This merely adds another case to check.
Eventually g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange() should be fixed to avoid compiler warnings.
EDIT: Actually there is a problem. When you try to use g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange() with const pointers, it is also not working, because the implementation as a function expects "void *" arguments. As the test also shows. As such, it's probably not portable to use g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange() with const pointers at all. However, the macro implementation is (with the right compiler) fine with that, so it's an easy "mistake" to make.
