#1605: hppa port -- gmp handed misaligned memory
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Reporter: guest | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Runtime System | Version: 6.6.1
Severity: normal | Keywords: GMP
Difficulty: Easy (1 hr) | Os: HPUX
Testcase: | Architecture: hppa
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
GMP compiled for hppa 2.0n uses 8 byte data by default. hppa *requires*
that 8 byte data be aligned on an 8 byte boundary. However GHC only
aligns allocated memory to a 4 byte boundary. This causes GHC to crash.
Currently the workaround is to recompile GMP to use 32 bit data, but this
is probably a performance hit.
