[PATCH spice-protocol v2] qxl_dev: Align QXLRam to 4 bytes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This avoids compilers detect misaligned access which can lead to
warnings.
In QEMU the structure is allocated at the beginning of a 4Kb page,
in Xspice is allocated with a calloc, so the structure will end up 4
bytes aligned as well with these users. We are not aware of other users
of QXLRam, but if there was, it's likely the struct would be at least
naturally aligned, so this change should not impact anyone.
Aligning to 4 bytes maintains the size of the structure unchanged
avoiding possible ABI changes.
clang currently generates an invalid function call if a misaligned
4 byte atomic operation is detected.
