Hi, I was just wondering, since sparc is one of these alignment-sensitive architectures, is it actually valid to dereference at odd positions, e.g...? *(uint16_t *)uint8_ptr[something_not_divisible_by_2]; *(uint32_t *)uint8_ptr[something_not_divisible_by_4]; etc. Jan -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
