Hi guys, We found the root of those "unaligned loads", it was in canon.c (http://www.enlightenment.org/viewvc/e17/libs/epsilon/src/lib/exiftags/canon.c?hideattic=1&r1=1.2&r2=1.3), with a patch tilman applied in order to reduce relocations due lots of strings requiring it at load time.
The problem, according to a Red Hat gcc compiler engineer friend of mine, is that that construction is not valid according to 6.7.2.1/18 of C99-TC2 and GCC should not allow that, so it's both a bug with GCC and canon.c. canon.c could be fixed and still do few relocations by using one huge string with \0 as separators and place pointers to segments of this string on the struct. But it's a pain to do. So, I'd like to ask those who are using this exiftags support from Epsilon. I really don't think this should be in epsilon anyway... the only use of it in CVS is at esmart_thumb... and it's about orientation, which is a standard tag... So I request permission to remove all this exiftags stuff, if required I can add the code to find out orientation support and generate already rotated images later. This should make things a lot simpler, smaller and faster to start. comments? may I remove? -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri -------------------------------------- Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#: 17249123 Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (81) 9927 0010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
