SPARC has rather strict alignment requirements. GCC's -Wcast-align warns us when we're doing naughty things. e.g.
mysys/default.cc: In function int load_defaults(const char*, const char**, int*, char***): mysys/default.cc:401: error: cast from char* to char** increases required alignment of target type mysys/default.cc:409: error: cast from char* to MEM_ROOT* increases required alignment of target type mysys/default.cc:436: error: cast from char* to char** increases required alignment of target type mysys/default.cc:461: error: cast from char* to MEM_ROOT* increases required alignment of target type My T1000 running Debian is back up (yay!) and is building with this warning enabled (subsequently making the tree not build). If we build clean with this warning enabled, we are rather unlikely to have code that will SIGBUS on SPARC. So I plan to clean this up. Any help is much appreciated (if you don't have an account on hurricane, just ask me!). I'll commit and push to lp:~stewart-flamingspork/drizzle/gcc-Wcast-align as I go. Feel free to fix up a bit and propose for merging into this branch. I'll push up to brian when it's ready. -- Stewart Smith _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
