I have several errors like this:
spice-channel.c:1923:12: error: cast from 'uint8_t *' (aka 'unsigned char *') to
'uint32_t *' (aka 'unsigned int *') increases required alignment from 1 to
4 [-Werror,-Wcast-align]
...(uint32_t *)((uint8_t *)c->peer_msg +
GUINT32_FROM_LE(c->peer_msg->caps_offset));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is there any guarantee that the result pointer will be 32-bit aligned? In other
words, is it guaranteed that the c->peer_msg->caps_offset will be a multiple of
4? I don’t see this written in the spec.
Based on the answer, the correct fix is:
- If aligned, to cast to a uint32_t * in a way that disables the warning
- If misaligned, to replaced *p with a read operation that is safe when
mis-aligned (OS dependent I guess)
Thanks
Christophe
