Hi Paul,
Preparing for the release of grep-2.22, I ran its tests on an
old i686 system with gcc-4.7.2 and other fedora-18-era tools,
that triggered the failure of this static assertion in test-stdalign.c:
CHECK_STATIC (int64_t);
That arises because this "verify" expression is false:
#define CHECK_STATIC(type) \
typedef struct { char slot1; type slot2; } type##_helper; \
verify (alignof (type) == offsetof (type##_helper, slot2)); \
The actual values are 8 and 4.
Here's a mostly-stand-alone test case:
#include <stdalign.h>
#include "verify.h"
int
main ()
{
typedef struct { char slot1; double slot2; } XX;
verify (alignof(double) == offsetof (XX, slot2));
return 0;
}
$ gcc -std=gnu11 -I../lib test-stdalign.c
test-stdalign.c: In function 'main':
test-stdalign.c:8:3: error: static assertion failed: "verify
(alignof(double) == offsetof (XX, slot2))"
The same problem appears to affect the double-related tests.
Testing on i686 at all was mostly on a whim.
This is not a release blocker, by a long shot.
