53 descr
54 Because the current implementation of IP over IEEE1394, the
55 fw device address contains more than just the IEEE1394 EUI-64.
56 So when printing out IEEE1394 addresses, ignore the extra stuff.

59 hack xterm vs. libterm

62 file xsrc/xc/programs/xterm/main.c : 1.2 : 3609 : 3614
63 pr 10383
64 descr
65 In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
66 introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
67 Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
68 entry, which will then be ignored by libterm. As xterm modifies the
69 exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

93 hack Compensation for differing types of LINUX_USRSTACK and USRSTACK
94 cdate 21 Aug 2003
95 who he
96 file sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14
97 descr
98 Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as
99 literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is
100 not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to
101 fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast". This
102 is observed on e.g. the sun3 port. Ideally the "types" for
103 symbols should be consistent across all ports.

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

400 descr
401 Our cabs and cabsf have a different argument format on some architectures
402 and for that we have created in libm/compat_cabs{,f}.c. The standard
403 versions in libc are __c99_cabs{,f,l} and there are __RENAME()'s in
404 <complex.h>. G++ uses __builtin_cabs{,f,l} to implement those and they
405 translate by default to cabs{,f,l} which gets defined to cabs{,f} (the
406 wrong function) and an undefined cabsl. I've changed <complex> to use
407 the __c99_cabs{,f,l} directly. Using the __builtin_cabs{,f,l} in gcc is
408 still broken.
