This is pure nonsense. You realize, don't you, that the C spec has no definition of threads? All multithreaded programs are using undefined behavior. And yet here we are, using threads for over 2 decades. The gcc/clang folks have their heads up their asses. They've deliberately misinterpreted the spec claiming undefined behaviors are forbidden, supposedly to enable essential optimizations. Most of which only apply to obscure corner cases in compiler benchmark suites, that nobody in the real world ever benefits from. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

No, they are not. Some of them are 1-byte aligned. UBsan tells you that. Others require 4-byte alignment. UBsan tells you that, too. Jeff

You seem to have a misunderstanding of the standard and unaligned accesses. You also seem to be conflating two different concepts. First, unaligned accesses, are undefined behavior. They are forbidden by the standard in 6.3.2.3 Pointers: 7. A pointer to an object type may be converted to a pointer to a different object type. If the resulting pointer is not correctly aligned for the referenced type, the behavior is undefined. And Appendix J.2, Undefined Behavior, says: Conversion between two pointer types produces a result that is incorrectly aligned (6.3.2.3). You are violating the C standard in macros like COPY_PGNO. Effectively you are casting a uint8_t array to an uint16_t*. You cannot do that because uint16_t* increases the alignment requirements. Tools like UBsan are telling you when you violate the rules. They specifically flagged COPY_PGNO as incurring undefined behavior. (Tools like UBsan will miss some UB, but that's a different error and not applicable to this discussion). You insistence on claiming the code is correct is befuddling. You are effectively saying the world is wrong, including the C standard, the compiler writers, other projects, the QA personnel testing the software and users like me. There's nothing special about me being wrong. I've had to acknowledged that often. However, I would take pause in claiming the C standard is wrong or the compiler writers, like GCC and LLVM devs, are wrong. That's pretty bold. Second, conflating concepts, is the difference between the C standard and processor capabilities. The C code has undefined behavior, and it does not matter what the processor is capable of. And it does not matter if the compiler decides to generate code that performs unaligned accesses. The compiler is free to do what it wants, even when it frustrates the user or makes the user envious. However, you cannot wrote code that uses unaligned objects even though the compiler may generate equivalent code. Jeff

The unaligned accesses are Undefined Behavior. * https://stackoverflow.com/a/46790815/608639 * https://stackoverflow.com/a/46790813/608639 * https://stackoverflow.com/a/28895321/608639 * https://stackoverflow.com/a/51126453/608639 * https://stackoverflow.com/q/39908946/608639 ... I get that you think your project is fine. Many folks take that myopic view of the world. I call it the greedy model. Greedy models show up all over the place. For example, every website that requires a different account and different 16 character password. That's the greedy password model where a site think it is the only one someone visits. What baffles me is your insistence on polluting other program and library results. That's not your place to screw up testing for other programs and libraries. Jeff

(ITS#9031) Guide updates for 2.4
by quanah＠openldap.org 07 Jun '19

Full_Name: Quanah Gibson-Mount Version: 2.4.47 OS: N/A URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (47.208.128.44) The admin guide for delta-syncrepl needs updating. For example, it is missing the reqDN attribute being indexed. Additionally, it should be updated to reference mdb rather than hdb, since it is the preferred backend now in 2.4
