From: Christophe de Dinechin <dinechin@xxxxxxxxxx>
For example, something like this:
uint8_t *p8;
uint32_t *p32 = (uint32_t *) p8;
generates a warning like this:
spice-channel.c:1350:10: error: cast from 'uint8_t *' (aka 'unsigned char *') to
'uint32_t *' (aka 'unsigned int *') increases required alignment from 1 to
4 [-Werror,-Wcast-align]
The warning indicates that we end up with a pointer to data that
should be 4-byte aligned, but its value may be misaligned. On x86,
this does not make much of a difference, except a relatively minor
performance penalty. However, on platforms such as ARM, misaligned
accesses are emulated by the kernel, and support for them is optional.
So we may end up with a fault.
The intent of the fix here is to make it easy to identify and rework
places where actual mis-alignment occurs. Wherever casts raise the warning,
they are replaced with a macro:
- SPICE_ALIGNED_CAST(type, value) is the same as (type) value, but
silences the warning (using an intermediate cast to (void *)) and
adds a runtime check to verify that the pointer value is actually
aligned as expected. If that expectation is violated, a warning
is issued.
- SPICE_UNALIGNED_CAST(type, value) works like SPICE_ALIGNED_CAST,
but asssumes that the value is not known to be aligned. If there
is an alignment error, no warning is issued. It is still possible
to know if misalignment occurs by defining environment variable
SPICE_DEBUG_ALIGNMENT, in which case a debug message is issued for
every misaligned pointer.
