33 1.1 lukem file lib/libc/net/getnameinfo.c : 1.32 : 497 : 503
34 1.1 lukem descr
35 1.1 lukem Because the current implementation of IP over IEEE1394, the
36 1.1 lukem fw device address contains more than just the IEEE1394 EUI-64.
37 1.1 lukem So when printing out IEEE1394 addresses, ignore the extra stuff.

44 1.1 lukem pr 10383
45 1.1 lukem descr
46 1.1 lukem In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
47 1.1 lukem introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
48 1.1 lukem Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
49 1.1 lukem entry, which will then be ignored by libterm. As xterm modifies the
50 1.1 lukem exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

58 1.1 lukem to work around deficiencies in bus_space_{read,write}_* macros.

76 1.7 he who he
77 1.7 he file sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14
78 1.7 he descr
79 1.7 he Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as
80 1.7 he literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is
81 1.7 he not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to
82 1.7 he fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast". This
83 1.7 he is observed on e.g. the sun3 port. Ideally the "types" for
84 1.7 he symbols should be consistent across all ports.

91 1.25 mrg descr
92 1.25 mrg ldlex.c is generated from ldlex.l and we get macro redefinition
93 1.25 mrg errors from it if __STDC_VERSION__ is not C99 compliant. This
94 1.25 mrg hack forces NetBSD 1.6 and later systems to also include <stdint.h>
95 1.25 mrg to get the relevant definitions. This hack should be backed out
96 1.25 mrg when all platforms have switched away from GCC2.

105 1.37 junyoung GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
106 1.37 junyoung strict-aliasing rules" when compiling
107 1.37 junyoung crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this
108 1.38 junyoung is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and
109 1.38 junyoung not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix
110 1.38 junyoung applied is imported this should be backed out.

208 1.65 christos The problem is that it does not recognize initialization via function
209 1.65 christos call pointer. I.e.
210 1.65 christos int p;
211 1.65 christos foo(&p);
212 1.65 christos does not mark p as initialized.
