Hi All
I have similar question as for arm
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-01/msg00691.html
consider the following program.
e.g..
----------------- align.c -----------------
int main()
{
int bc;
char a[6];
int ac;
bc = 0xffffffff;
/* fill with zeros. */
a[0] = 0x00;
a[1] = 0x01;
a[2] = 0x02;
a[3] = 0x03;
a[4] = 0x04;
a[5] = 0x05;
ac=0xeeeeeeee;
make(a);
}
void make(char* a)
{
*(unsigned long*)a = 0x12345678;
}
Is the compiler doing a right thing or is it a bug??
Your code is not Standard C.
If you want to treat the same memory locations as
different data types, use a union:
union {
long l;
char c[4];
} a;
a.l = 0x12345678;
a.c[0] = 0x01;
