FWIW the reason for suggesting the cast to target_ulong is so that the same code works for both qemu-system-ppc and qemu-system-ppc64. For qemu-system-ppc that should correctly drop the sign extension from 32-bit, whilst still allowing someone to load a 64-bit ELF into qemu-system-ppc64 if requested. IMO this is part of a bigger design problem. Not all machines main bus is 64-bit. I did some experiments but changing that involves a lot of work. Did not want to reply to this to not bring it to your attention before patch gets in finally but it's too late... Not sure what you refer to I refer to having machines with a N-bit main bus using a N-bit main bus (currently all main busses are 64-bit wide). Some 32-bit machines have access to 64-bit busses, some don't. I have been wondering about it because of the AVR CPU which uses a pair of busses, each less than 32-bit. If one day I can finish my work there, the Old World mac might benefit from it. but in this particular case the problem only seems to be load_elf loading 32 bit ELF files returning sign extended 64 bit address which looks bogus but since this function is widely used I did not feel confident enough to propose a patch to load_elf. By the way, also the parameters of load_elf could take a clean up to remove all the mostly NULL values as I've pointed out before: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-01/msg03427.html but all this could wait until later, these don't seem to be urgent problems to prevent moving mac machines forward now and could all be addressen in separate elf loading series. So just note the problem and move on for now please. Reagards. BALATON Zoltan
