Re: gcc-3.4.0: mt_allocator crashes due to alignment problems onSPARC targets when sizeof(type) <= 2

This'll teach me to not check the latest CVS before posting.  It looks
like Paolo's change in rev 1.22 may have addressed this by setting a
minimum bin size (defaulted to 8).  I see the thread about that
mentioned alignment problems on ia64.  Sorry for the duplicate issue.

Can I just drop the latest version of mt_allocator.h into the
gcc-3.4.0 source tree safely?

Yes, you can, to my best knowledge, but beware that you will not get for now
the perfect alignment anyway (see my previous message): honestly I don't know
the details of Sparc, hopefully what you get now is already sufficient to avoid
crashes (not the optimal performance, tough)

 Perhaps I should just use "pool"
for now instead?

This is also an option: however, be warned that on 64-bit machines you have to
set _S_align = 16.

Paolo.
