Martin Storsjö 70df6052d8 tst_QPluginLoader: Simplify creating a fake pointer in fakeplugin.cpp
When assigning multiple variables to a specific section, both GCC
and Clang legitimately error out if those variables wouldn't end
up in the same section (e.g. if one of them is going to a read-only
section while the other one is going to a read-write section).

In C++, when a seemingly const variable needs dynamic initialization,
it needs to be stored in a read-write section.

Clang 13 changed internals for how some constants are materialized.
Now, when a variable is initialized with an expression containing
plain old fashioned casts, it is considered to be potentially
runtime initialized (at the point when section assignment conflicts
is evaluated). Therefore, Clang 13 errors out on fakeplugin.cpp
with errors like:

    fakeplugin.cpp:36:39: error: 'message' causes a section type conflict with 'pluginSection'
    QT_PLUGIN_METADATA_SECTION const char message[] = "QTMETADATA";
                                          ^
    fakeplugin.cpp:32:40: note: declared here
    QT_PLUGIN_METADATA_SECTION void *const pluginSection = (void*)(0xc0ffeec0ffeeL);
                                           ^

See https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51442 for discussion
on the matter in Clang.

To simplify things, just initialize the fake pointers as regular
uintptr_t instead, avoiding the whole matter. This produces the
exact same contents in the section as before.

For what it's worth, the actual manually constructed metadata in
fakeplugin.cpp doesn't seem to have any effect on running the
QPluginLoader tests on either ELF or MachO right now.

README

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
