hi,
I have hit an issue with gcc 4.8.5 on s390x (big endian machine) while
expanding macros (e.g. WCOREDUMP).
I unsure why this is happening only when the first macro parameter is of
type long.
Take the sample program:
```
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main() {
if (WCOREDUMP((long)128L)) { printf("WCOREDUMP not zero\n");
} else { printf("WCOREDUMP !zero!\n"); }
return 0;
}
```
the macro in the if condition is expaned to:
```
if ((((__extension__ (((union { __typeof((long)128L) __in; int __i; }) {
.__in = ((long)128L) }).__i))) ...
```
Since this is a big endian machine the field access __i will always
return 0.
I had a look at the macro and how it is defined:
gcc/gcc/system.h:#define WCOREDUMP(S) ((S) & WCOREFLG)
What is the reason for this extra union type and the assumption that the
parameter must be of type int?
Cheers,
Richard
