Undefined behavior error: call to function visit_type_InetSocketAddress_members through pointer to incorrect function type
Host environment
- Operating system: Fedora 40
- Architecture: x86
- QEMU flavor: qemu-system-x86_64
- QEMU version: master branch (commit 3d48b6b6)
Description of problem
When compiling QEMU with --extra-cflags=-fsanitize=undefined and --extra-cflags=-fno-sanitize-recover=undefined on a system that has Clang v17 or newer (e.g. on Fedora 39 or Fedora 40), the unit tests abort with an undefined behavior error.
Steps to reproduce
./configure --cc=clang --extra-cflags=-fsanitize=undefined --extra-cflags=-fno-sanitize-recover=undefined --target-list=x86_64-softmmu
make -j$(nproc)
make check-unit

This undefined behavior could likely also trigger issues with CFI or certain compilers/architectures like emscripten, so we should try to avoid this. See also https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29972 or https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/111178 for discussions in other projects, and #2345 for a similar problem in the QEMU lockable code.
