Compiling GDB with current git Clang (future 13) fails with (among
other problems), this issue:
$ make nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.o
CXX nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.o
src/gdb/nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c:590:35: warning: passing 4-byte aligned argument to 8-byte aligned parameter 1 of 'compat_x32_siginfo_from_siginfo' may result in an unaligned pointer access [-Walign-mismatch]
compat_x32_siginfo_from_siginfo ((struct compat_x32_siginfo *) inf,
^
1 warning generated.
The problem is that:
- The flagged code is casting to "struct compat_x32_siginfo" pointer
directly instead of to a pointer to the compat_x32_siginfo_t
typedef. The called function is declared with a
compat_x32_siginfo_t typedef pointer parameter.
- Only the typedef has the __aligned__ attribute.
Fix this by moving the attribute to the struct, so both struct and
typedef have the same alignment.
The next patch removes the typedefs.
gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net>
* nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c (compat_x32_siginfo_t): Move
__attribute__ __aligned__ from the typedef to the struct.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
