Hi Andrea, That's a limitation of the HP-UX platform. (And for many other platforms, too.) Don't use odd memory addresses for data types that are not allowed to be accessed at odd memory locations. For instance: char s[10]; int* x = (int*)&s[1]; *x = 3; // ! ! A *LOT* of platforms will bus error here. UNLESS... you've found a bug where GCC is creating odd memory location data types that are not allowed to be accessed at odd memory locations, and it's not due to your own code's logic or structure packing __attribute__(()). HTH, --Eljay
