The old value passed to cmpxchg() is semantically read-only: it is only loaded into a register as a comparand and is never written back. However, the macro currently assigns it implicitly to a local variable of type __typeof__(*(ptr)), which triggers -Werror=discarded-qualifiers when old is a const-qualified pointer and ptr points to a non-const type.
Fix this by using __auto_type with the conditional expression trick: __auto_type _o_ = 1 ? (o) : *(ptr); The __auto_type deduces the type from the expression, so _o_ naturally takes the const-qualified type when o is const-qualified, avoiding the discarded-qualifiers warning. The conditional expression forces the compiler to verify that o and *(ptr) have compatible types, preserving the type-safety check that a bare __auto_type _o_ = (o) would lose. Since the condition is the constant 1, the compiler optimizes away the *(ptr) branch entirely with no runtime cost. For macros where ptr is already captured in a local variable (arc's _p_, hexagon's __ptr, riscv's __ptr), the captured variable is used in the conditional expression to avoid re-evaluating ptr. The new value is intentionally left without this treatment: new will be stored into *ptr, so silently accepting a const-qualified new would allow callers to store a pointer-to-const into a non-const location without any compiler warning.
