Yup, SPARC processors don't support unaligned references, even though x86/x86-64, S/390 and z/Architecture, and PowerPC processors do. If GCC warns about a pointer type conversion from a type with one alignment requirement to a type with stricter alignment requirements, believe the warning. (README.developer mentions the alignment issues in some places, but it doesn't mention that issue - it mainly talks about assuming that pointers to raw packet data are aligned.) _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list Wireshark-dev@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
