At present, the building of ExtensionSubtables.cpp produces a warning: ../../../src/share/native/sun/font/layout/ExtensionSubtables.cpp:57:31: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
due to this code: // read a 32-bit value that might only be 16-bit-aligned in memory #define READ_LONG(code) (le_uint32)((SWAPW(*(le_uint16*)&code) << 16) + SWAPW(*(((le_uint16*)&code) + 1))) where code is a le_uint32. This can be avoided by setting -fno-strict-aliasing, as done in this webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/no-strict-aliasing/ making the code safer in the process. Ok for jdk8? If so, can I have a bug ID for this please? Thanks, -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
