Sorry. That was a incorrect example. Consider this:
struct st1{
char c1, c2, c3, c4, c5;
} ob1;
int main(void) {
int *ip;
ip = &ob1.c1; // c1 at 404100 in cygwin
ip = &ob1.c2; // c2 at 404101 in cygwin
}

Right. No abort / bus error for misaligned int ptr (value) access.
> It ain't a 68000, you know!
Right. I get bus error for such misaligned int access.
Thanks Bernard Leak for the information.

Kannan

Um, why should there be an alignment warning?
Do you *know* that char1, char2 are not both
on appropriately-aligned int boundaries?
Leaving aside the unofficial character of all
Windows builds of GCC (are you using Cygwin
or similar?), misaligned accesses to ints are
not prohibited on. e.g., x86. It ain't a
68000, you know!
On the other hand, I get a warning "assignment from
incompatible pointer type", for each of the indicated
lines, which is what I'd expect.

Correction. I didn't try with 68000.
I used ia64 hp server rx7640 HP-UX B.11.31.

Hi,
char char1;
char char2;
int *ip;
void foo(void) {
ip = &char1; // line 6
*ip = 65;
ip = &char2; // line 8
*ip = 66;
return;
}
No alignment warning at line 6, 8.
Tried in windows (GCC 4.5.3), hp-ux (GCC 4.7.1).
Regards,
Kannan
