>Description:
Hi!
All applications that do the following crashes on the sparc64
port (I don't know, if the crash happens on other ports, too):
#include <stdio.h>
struct foo_t {
int a;
unsigned char buf[8192];
};
struct bar_t {
int i1;
int i2;
double d1;
double d2;
};
int main(void)
{
int a = 0;
struct foo_t f;
struct bar_t *b;
memset(&f, 0, sizeof(f));
f.buf[2] = 2;
b = (struct bar_t *)(f.buf + 2);
a = b->i2; // <-- accessing b causes segfault
printf("a: %i\n", a);
return 0;
}
I have tested it on other OS's (Darwin/ppc32, Solaris/sparc64)
and this small app does NOT crash there.
