Description efutch 2000-09-29 23:10:01 UTC

Here is a patch to provide users with a rc.conf knob to easily turn on/off the unaligned access warnings.  These can be kind of annoying at times.  Comments, questions, suggestions welcome.

Fix:

How-To-Repeat: Many 3rd party programs that run on the Alpha will cause unaligned access warnings.

The patch lacks an addition to rc.conf.5 - any chance of an update ?

Comment 3 efutch 2000-10-04 15:43:46 UTC

Here's the patch for rc.conf.5.  While I was in there I also noticed that
that osf1_enable is not discussed.  Also included is a patch to add
osf1_enable to rc.conf.5.  I hope I got this right, I'm not good with man
pages :)


Patch to add unaligned_print to rc.conf.5:

Put this in ``feedback'' state to indicate that it's due an MFC. 
I'll MFC in 3 weeks if there are no problems.

I don't wish to MFC this as it's a new feature rather than a bug fix.
