>Description:
c-common.c, combine_Strings () will attempt to widen
char to wchar_t if any of the strings being combined are
wide. The widening loop hardcodes host wchar_t sizes
equivalent to short and int, if wchar_t is setup with only 8
bits it will fall through into the (int *) branch potentially
causing a non aligned access bus error.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I'm working around this with the following patch:
***************
*** 279,285 ****
int i;
for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
! if (WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE == HOST_BITS_PER_SHORT)
((short *) q)[i] = TREE_STRING_POINTER (t)[i];
else
((int *) q)[i] = TREE_STRING_POINTER (t)[i];
--- 431,439 ----
int i;
for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
! if (WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE == HOST_BITS_PER_CHAR)
! ((char *) q)[i] = TREE_STRING_POINTER (t)[i];
! else if (WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE == HOST_BITS_PER_SHORT)
((short *) q)[i] = TREE_STRING_POINTER (t)[i];
else
((int *) q)[i] = TREE_STRING_POINTER (t)[i];
