Subject: [Linux-ia64] asm-ia64/fpu.h portability improvement
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 01:11:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590723705347@msgid-missing> (raw)
The patch below makes the declaration of "struct ia64_fpreg" portable
accross compilers. Bjorn, I think it would be good to make the same
change in 2.4.xx.
Even though it's a change to a kernel header file, this patch is
intended to fix a bug in glibc: without this patch, using a compiler
other than gcc will lead to a sigcontext/ucontext type which isn't
properly aligned.
