In 'kaffe/kaffevm/jit3/funcs.c' a macro 'ALIGN_CODEPC' is defined.
But as far as grep can tell, it has never been used. Is this macro
really needed?

Konnichiwa Kiyo,

Thanks a lot for researching it! It seems that both the ALIGN and ALIGN_CODE macros are unused. I grepped around in the code, and just found the #defines, no actual uses.

If not, we have to modify
 kaffe/kaffevm/jit3/funcs.c
 kaffe/kaffevm/jit/funcs.c (at least ALIGN should be ALIGN_CODEPC for OpenBSD)
 FAQ/FAQ.jit3.


I checked kaffe 0.8.3, and noticed even for jit rather than jit3, 'ALIGN'
macro (whose name was changed later to 'ALIGN_CODEPC' to be compiled on
OpenBSD) has defined but not used. So I think both {jit,jit3}/funcs.c should
be modified not to include this macro.

I think that's a good idea. Removing code we don't use (anymore) makes the remaning code easier to read, and means less time spent fixing compilation errors in unused code. ;)


Oh, I also notice 'FAQ/FAQ.jit3' shall be modified for the explanation of
LOUT. The example in this document is still old style version.


No more info needed. I will make some patches later for this.

Thanks!

cheers,
