Thanks - with that in mind I committed a fix at r785553 using the Harmony defines for the appropriate platforms.

Can anyone confirm that the change I appended for MemMacros.h does not cause any breakage on Linux x86_64? I'll give it a few days before I commit this change so there's some time to speak up.

Well it most likely wouldn't break since IIRC unaligned accesses are trapped
and handled by the kernel.  However, the key thing is that __i386__ is *not*
defined on x86_64 so the memmove case is used by both x86_64 and ia64.

The change I appended to my original mail fixes the build problem on zLinux 31 now. Can anyone confirm that everything works as expected on Linux x86_64 please? I think it is only that platform that is in danger of being affected by this modification.

Hi all,

I have a quick question about the macros get_unaligned() and set_unaligned() in MemMacros.h. When compiling on zSeries Linux 31 bit systems we fall into the macros defines section for IPF machines because we are on linux and __386__ is not defined. Unfortunately the "(const void*) (ptr)" tries to cast a jlong (64 bit) to a 32 bit pointer here and we get a "cast to pointer from integer of different size" warning which is treated as an error.

I'd like to fix the code to do the right thing here across all platforms. Does anyone know this code well? Does the IPF section (__linux__ && !__i386__) refer to Itanium machines only and not x86_64? If so, would it suffice to replace the code that is there with something like [1], so that only Itanium machines use the memmove() based macros and all the rest (linux, windows, zos, aix etc.) use the simpler cast based macros?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Regards,
Oliver
