You mean before or after the application of the suggested patch? Perhaps there
may be other alignment
constraints on powerpc-darwin than on i686-linux. The alignment with the
ROUND-macro as i see it
would not work with an alignment constraint any other than `alignment ==
multiple of data size'.
BTW: The bug is at least in gcc-2.7.2.3. I am wondering how it got along
undetected, since the program
with the encoding "{ii}" is an example taken from `Object Oriented Programming
& the Objective-C
Programming Language'. But however as i checked the various libs that are open
source and compilable
under linux (libFoundation etc.), nobody uses it. They all handle their
serialization of compound object
by themselves...
