Subject: [PATCH] saner typechecking in generic unaligned.h
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 08:49:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1IAhoN-0001ij-Ry@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)
Verify that types would match for assignment (under sizeof, so we are safe from
side effects or any code actually getting generated), then explicitly cast
everywhere to the fixed-sized types. Kills a bunch of bogus warnings about
constants being truncated (gcc, sparse), finds a pile of endianness problems
hidden by old noise (sparse).
