30 hack netstat ieee1394 address printing.
31 mdate 14 Nov 2000

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

40 hack xterm vs. libterm
41 mdate 01 Aug 2000
42 who jdc
43 file xsrc/xc/programs/xterm/main.c : 1.2 : 3609 : 3614
44 pr 10383
45 descr
46 In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
47 introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
48 Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
49 entry, which will then be ignored by libterm. As xterm modifies the
50 exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

56 file dev/ic/wireg.h
57 descr Add an option to access the underlying bus in big endian byte order
58 to work around deficiencies in bus_space_{read,write}_* macros.
59 Those don't allow the implementation of a proper pcmcia bus space
60 tag.

65 who jdc
66 file lib/libcurses/color.c : r1.24
67 descr
68 Swap red/blue and yellow/cyan colours for COLOR_OTHER.
69 Fix is to enhance libtermcap to understand terminfo-style % sequences.

74 hack Compensation for differing types of LINUX_USRSTACK and USRSTACK
75 cdate 21 Aug 2003
76 who he
77 file sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14
78 descr
79 Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as
80 literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is
81 not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to
82 fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast". This
83 is observed on e.g. the sun3 port. Ideally the "types" for
84 symbols should be consistent across all ports.

88 cdate 6 August 2004
89 who junyoung
90 pr 26516
91 file src/usr.sbin/racoon/racoon/Makefile : 1.21
92 descr
93 GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
94 strict-aliasing rules" when compiling
95 crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this
96 is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and
97 not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix
98 applied is imported this should be backed out.

181 descr
182 GCC 4.1 gets many uninitialised variable warnings wrong. We should
183 really audit all the old hacks like this when older compilers are
184 removed from the tree, as many are probably no longer required.
185 The problem is that it does not recognize initialization via function
186 call pointer. I.e.
187 int p;
188 foo(&p);
189 does not mark p as initialized.
