| # SYNOPSIS |
| # |
| # AC_CHECK_ALIGNED_ACCESS_REQUIRED |
| # |
| # DESCRIPTION |
| # |
| # While the x86 CPUs allow access to memory objects to be unaligned it |
| # happens that most of the modern designs require objects to be aligned - |
| # or they will fail with a buserror. That mode is quite known by |
| # big-endian machines (sparc, etc) however the alpha cpu is little- |
| # endian. |
| # |
| # The following function will test for aligned access to be required and |
| # set a config.h define HAVE_ALIGNED_ACCESS_REQUIRED (name derived by |
| # standard usage). Structures loaded from a file (or mmapped to memory) |
| # should be accessed per-byte in that case to avoid segfault type errors. |
