Subject: [PATCH 1/2] nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c: Move align attribute from typedef to struct
Date: Sat,  5 Jun 2021 01:14:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210605001427.3597687-2-pedro@palves.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210605001427.3597687-1-pedro@palves.net>

Compiling GDB with current git Clang (future 13) fails with (among
other problems), this issue:

 $ make nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.o
   CXX    nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.o
 src/gdb/nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c:590:35: warning: passing 4-byte aligned argument to 8-byte aligned parameter 1 of 'compat_x32_siginfo_from_siginfo' may result in an unaligned pointer access [-Walign-mismatch]
	 compat_x32_siginfo_from_siginfo ((struct compat_x32_siginfo *) inf,
					  ^
 1 warning generated.

The problem is that:

  - The flagged code is casting to "struct compat_x32_siginfo" pointer
    directly instead of to a pointer to the compat_x32_siginfo_t
    typedef.  The called function is declared with a
    compat_x32_siginfo_t typedef pointer parameter.

  - Only the typedef has the __aligned__ attribute.

Fix this by moving the attribute to the struct, so both struct and
typedef have the same alignment.

The next patch removes the typedefs.

yyyy-mm-dd  Pedro Alves  <pedro@palves.net>

	* nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c (compat_x32_siginfo_t): Move
	__attribute__ __aligned__ from the typedef to the struct.
