[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Fix leul_to_cpu on big endian hosts

[Alexander Graf]

Commit 213acd2e introduced leul_to_cpu with a special code path for big endian
hosts. Unfortunately that code used preprocessor magic that didn't work.

This patch replaces the explicit ##s by glue() which is proven to work reliably,
enabling me to compile qemu on ppc again.

While the patch looks correct, I am not able to reproduce the issue. Do
you have more details about it?

When building on a KVM capable PPC host (or S390 for that matter), I get
the following:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
/home/agraf/release/qemu/kvm-all.c: In function
‘kvm_get_dirty_pages_log_range’:
/home/agraf/release/qemu/kvm-all.c:305: error: implicit declaration of
function ‘leHOST_LONG_BITS_to_cpu’
make[1]: *** [kvm-all.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [subdir-ppc64-softmmu] Error 2

Ok, that make sense now. I have tried to build on a big endian host, but
KVM was not enabled. Strangely this function is also used at other
places, so I was expecting the build to fail.

Applied now.
