[Tinycc-devel] alinged/unaligned on OpenBSD

[Christian Jullien]

Hi Grischka,

Your last commit reverted alignment code introduced to support OpenBSD on arm.

Even it looks strange for you, as confirmed by an OpenBSD developer, arm by design requires alignment.

Your commit breaks the test suite:

Test: 96_nodata_wanted...

FYI, with Herman (esp. Herman) we added OpenBSD support for i386/x86_64/arm/arm64 which passed all the test. The good news is that tcc is now an official OpenBSD package which is great for the TinyCC popularity.

If, for probably good reasons, you don’t want alignment code for all platforms, can we add a new configuration option: --align or alike which will force alignment?
