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

     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.

     54 cdate	15 Mar 2002
     55 who	martin
     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.

     87 hack	GCC2 isn't C99
     88 cdate	5 December 2003
     89 who	mrg
     90 file	gnu/dist/binutils/ld/ldlex.c: r1.2
     91 descr
     92 	ldlex.c is generated from ldlex.l and we get macro redefinition
     93 	errors from it if __STDC_VERSION__ is not C99 compliant.  This
     94 	hack forces NetBSD 1.6 and later systems to also include <stdint.h>
     95 	to get the relevant definitions.  This hack should be backed out
     96 	when all platforms have switched away from GCC2.

     99 hack	gcc-strict-aliasing
    100 cdate	6 August 2004
    101 who	junyoung
    102 pr	26516
    103 file	src/usr.sbin/racoon/racoon/Makefile : 1.21
    104 descr
    105 	GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
    106 	strict-aliasing rules" when compiling
    107 	crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this
    108 	is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and
    109 	not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix
    110 	applied is imported this should be backed out.

    206 	GCC 4.1 gets many uninitialised variable warnings wrong.  We should
    207 	really audit all the old hacks like this when older compilers are
    208 	removed from the tree, as many are probably no longer required.
    209 	The problem is that it does not recognize initialization via function
    210 	call pointer. I.e.
    211 		int p;
    212 		foo(&p);
    213 	does not mark p as initialized.
