Tried reproducing the issue of ciborium build failure on ppc64el. On
checking the logs minutely, got to know that the issue is in one of the
source file /cdata.go/. There is a function declared with no definition:
f/unc Addrs() (uintptr, uintptr)./
This patch fixes a build failure of the Ciborium package on the ppc64el
architecture. The /qml.v1/cdata/cdata.go/ file defines the /Addrs()
/function, which appears to rely on architecture-specific logic that is
not supported on ppc64el. Attempting to compile on ppc64el results in an
error due to this missing implementation.
To resolve this, I have:
*
Added a Go build tag to |cdata.go| to exclude it from |ppc64el| builds.
*
Created a new file |cdata_stub.go|, which is only built on
|ppc64el|, and provides a stub |Addrs()| function returning default
zero values.
This allows the package to compile successfully on |ppc64el|, while
retaining the original behavior for other platforms.
The stub ensures compatibility without introducing functional changes or
affecting other architectures. I have attached the patch in this mail.
