Package: tcl8.4-dev
Version: 8.4.3-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
This is most likely ia64 specific, but it may apply to other 64-bit
machines. I get all sorts of compilation warnings when trying to
build tcl8.4 on ia64. For example:
../generic/regcomp.c: In function 'TclReComp':
../generic/regcomp.c:335: warning: passing arg 1 of 'Tcl_Alloc' with
different width due to prototype
I can track this down to the declarations made in generic/tcl.decls;
the use of an unsigned int arg for ia64 for Tcl_Alloc is incorrect
and should instead be unsigned long. However, I'm not sure how you
want to repair this; I did verify that the warning goes away when
this change is made. The problem seems to be that pointers are
assumed to fit into unsigned int's which does not seem to be the
case for this architecture.
BTW, I actually was not looking at removing the warnings; I started
to when I was trying to track down why there's an unaligned access
(perhaps in Tcl_GetChannelHandler) being reported by expect when it
runs the binutils testsuite for objcopy. I suspect the unaligned
access has to do with the use of pointers that are not 64-bits wide.
Regardless, it's not clear to me from the warnings and behavior of
tcl that it's 64-bit clean on ia64 yet. I couldn't tell. If all
of the warnings can be resolved, they remove a set of potential
problems and make it easier to hunt down the unaligned access.
