[ksh93-integration-discuss] ksh(88|93)/libast and memory alignment...

[Roland Mainz]

Hi!

----

I just found
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6277643 which
is about the current Solaris /usr/bin/ksh (a ksh88 derivate).

The description says this:
-- snip --
ksh fails to maintain 8-byte alignment in its "stak" allocator, but
allocates objects containing long long types from it.  This can cause
crashes and
violates the ABI. 
-- snip --
I am not sure whether this applies to ksh93/libast or not... can anyone
who is familar with the libast memory allocator check that, please ?

----

Bye,
Roland
