The function test_custom_stats_var_from_serialized_data() takes an
argument of type
const PgStatShared_Common *header
which is then later cast
entry = (PgStatShared_CustomVarEntry *) header;
where entry is defined as
PgStatShared_CustomVarEntry *entry;
So you are losing the const qualification here.
But fixing that by adding the const qualification to entry would not
work because what entry points to is later modified:
entry->description = InvalidDsaPointer;
So the header argument of the function should not be const qualified.
But the signature of that function is apparently determined by this new
callbacks API, so it cannot be changed in isolation.
So it seems to me that either the callbacks API needs some adjustments,
or this particular implementation of the callback function is incorrect.
