     71 file	xsrc/xc/programs/xterm/main.c	: 1.2 : 3609 : 3614
     72 pr	10383
     73 descr
     74 	In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
     75 	introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
     76 	Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
     77 	entry, which will then be ignored by libterm.  As xterm modifies the
     78 	exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

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

    195 	GCC 4.1 gets many uninitialised variable warnings wrong.  We should
    196 	really audit all the old hacks like this when older compilers are
    197 	removed from the tree, as many are probably no longer required.
    198 	The problem is that it does not recognize initialization via function
    199 	call pointer. I.e.
    200 		int p;
    201 		foo(&p);
    202 	does not mark p as initialized.

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