So when printing out IEEE1394 addresses, ignore the extra stuff. kcah hack xterm vs. libterm mdate 01 Aug 2000 who jdc file xsrc/xc/programs/xterm/main.c : 1.2 : 3609 : 3614 pr 10383 descr In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry. Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ entry, which will then be ignored by libterm. As xterm modifies the exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored. kcah hack wi-at-big-endian-bus cdate 15 Mar 2002 who martin file dev/ic/wireg.h descr Add an option to access the underlying bus in big endian byte order to work around deficiencies in bus_space_{read,write}_* macros.

This is observed on e.g. the sun3 port. Ideally the "types" for symbols should be consistent across all ports. kcah hack gcc4 wrong uninitialized variable mdate 10 May 2006 who mrg file bin/ksh/eval.c : 1.6 file bin/sh/histedit.c : 1.39 file bin/sh/parser.c : 1.60 file crypto/dist/heimdal/kdc/524.c : 1.10 file crypto/dist/ssh/sftp.c : 1.20 file crypto/dist/ssh/ssh-keysign.c : 1.11 file dist/ipf/lib/hostname.c : 1.2 file dist/ipf/tools/ipmon.c : 1.8 file dist/ntp/ntpd/ntp_request.c : 1.4 file dist/ntp/ntpd/refclock_shm.c : 1.4 file dist/ntp/sntp/timing.c : 1.3 file dist/pppd/pppstats/pppstats.c : 1.3 file dist/smbfs/lib/smb/rap.c : 1.6 file dist/tcpdump/print-zephyr.c : 1.5 file distrib/utils/sysinst/aout2elf.c : 1.12 file gnu/libexec/uucp/uucico/uucico.c : 1.6 file lib/libc/citrus/citrus_csmapper.c : 1.6 file lib/libc/citrus/citrus_pivot_factory.c : 1.5 file lib/libc/inet/inet_cidr_ntop.c : 1.3 file lib/libc/inet/inet_ntop.c : 1.3 file lib/libc/stdio/vfwprintf.c : 1.8 file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/m68k/mdreloc.c : 1.20 file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/powerpc/ppc_reloc.c : 1.40 file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/sh3/mdreloc.c : 1.22 file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/sparc/mdreloc.c : 1.39 file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/sparc64/mdreloc.c : 1.39 file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/vax/mdreloc.c : 1.21 file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/x86_64/mdreloc.c : 1.27 file sbin/fsck_ext2fs/dir.c : 1.19 file sbin/routed/rtquery/rtquery.c : 1.18 file sys/arch/amd64/amd64/pmap.c : 1.26 file sys/arch/i386/pci/piixpcib.c : 1.4 file sys/arch/m68k/m68k/pmap_motorola.c : 1.4 file sys/crypto/cast128/cast128.c : 1.9 file sys/ddb/db_command.c : 1.86 file sys/dev/cardbus/cardbus_map.c : 1.21 file sys/dev/fss.c : 1.25 file sys/dev/ic/igsfb.c : 1.39 file sys/dev/ic/mb86950.c : 1.5 file sys/dev/ic/midway.c : 1.71 file sys/dev/kttcp.c : 1.18 file sys/dev/rasops/rasops_bitops.h : 1.9 file sys/dev/pci/cmpci.c : 1.31 file sys/dev/pci/machfb.c : 1.45 file sys/dev/usb/ohci.c : 1.174 file sys/dev/usb/uhci.c : 1.196 file sys/dev/rasops/rasops_bitops.h : 1.9 file sys/dist/ipf/netinet/ip_nat.c : 1.10 file sys/dist/ipf/netinet/ip_rpcb_pxy.c : 1.8 file sys/dist/pf/net/pf.c : 1.22 file sys/fs/udf/udf_vnops.c : 1.4 file sys/kern/kern_sig.c : 1.219 file sys/kern/tty.c : 1.181 file sys/net/bpf.c : 1.116 file sys/net/zlib.c : 1.26 file sys/netccitt/if_x25subr.c : 1.37 file sys/netinet/in.c : 1.107 file sys/netsmb/smb_smb.c : 1.27 file sys/netsmb/smb_trantcp.c : 1.22 file sys/nfs/nfs_serv.c : 1.108 file sys/nfs/nfs_socket.c : 1.129 file sys/nfs/nfs_syscalls.c : 1.91 file sys/ufs/lfs/lfs_vfsops.c : 1.207 [also (char *)] file usr.bin/ftp/ftp.c : 1.140 file usr.bin/find/function.c : 1.54 file usr.bin/mail/tty.c : 1.20 file usr.bin/msgc/msg_sys.def : 1.33-1.34 file usr.bin/nl/nl.c : 1.7 file usr.bin/systat/keyboard.c : 1.23 file usr.bin/usbhidctl/usbhid.c : 1.29 file usr.bin/vi/cl/cl_read.c : 1.5 file usr.bin/vi/ex/ex_cscope.c : 1.12 file usr.bin/vi/ex/ex_tag.c : 1.19 file usr.bin/vi/vi/v_txt.c : 1.15 file usr.sbin/altq/altqstat/qdisc_rio.c : 1.4 file usr.sbin/cron/do_command.c : 1.19 file usr.sbin/timed/timed/slave.c : 1.15 descr GCC 4.1 gets many uninitialised variable warnings wrong. We should really audit all the old hacks like this when older compilers are removed from the tree, as many are probably no longer required.

The standard versions in libc are __c99_cabs{,f,l} and there are __RENAME()'s in . G++ uses __builtin_cabs{,f,l} to implement those and they translate by default to cabs{,f,l} which gets defined to cabs{,f} (the wrong function) and an undefined cabsl. I've changed to use the __c99_cabs{,f,l} directly. Using the __builtin_cabs{,f,l} in gcc is still broken. kcah port vax hack gcc4/vax ICE cdate who tsutsui file sys/arch/vax/conf/Makefile.vax descr GCC4 on vax gets ICE on compiling sys/ddb/db_command.c. -fno-tree-ter prevents it so add it to COPTS. kcah hack gcc4/vax compiler crash cdate Fri Jun 30 22:39:12 PDT 2006 who mrg file bin/csh/Makefile : 1.27 file lib/i18n_module/UTF7/Makefile : 1.2 descr GCC4 on vax crashes. -O0 stops it happening so far... kcah hack declare boolean_t in two IPF user-mode programs cdate Tue Mar 7 19:19:20 CET 2006 who he file dist/ipf/ipsend/iptests.c : 1.8 dist/ipf/ipsend/sock.c : 1.7 descr The IPF user-mode programs ipsend and iptest first include without _KERNEL defined, and later include with _KERNEL defined.

Post newlock2 there was a bug where a lock was reduced from IPL_SCHED to IPL_VM (?) and occasionally savefpstate IPI would crash due to NULL IPI. This was fixed by re-using the right IPL value. However, GCC 4.5.3 build kernels have the same problems. For now, the hack is re-instated. kcah port mips hack mips-shared-linker-load-address cdate Fri Oct 7 08:33:10 UTC 2005 who simonb file src/sys/kern/exec_elf32.c : 1.107 descr With COMPAT_16 or previous enabled (which enables ELF_INTERP_NON_RELOCATABLE) a recent ld.elf_so will load and run at address 0.
