[EXT] Re: riscv32 : -mno-strict-align has no effect

[Alex Rocha Prado]

Hi Stefan,

I am sorry, I did not understand why the example is not a good one. My intention is exactly making sure the compiler notice it is an unaligned access and by using -mno-strict-align it generate regular lw/st instructions (since the hardware can handle it nicely).

Regards,
Alex

I don't think this is a good example, as the compiler can see from the constants that the addresses are not aligned.
