[Bug runtime/5637] Misaligned accesses in staprun for ia64 when stapio access denied


------- Additional Comments From wcohen at redhat dot com  2008-01-21 16:43 -------
It looks like there are some steps that could be generating pointers that are
unaligned in runtime/staprun/symbols.c:send_module:

	len = get_sections(mname, data + sizeof(int32_t),
			   sizeof(data) - sizeof(int32_t));

This character pointer ("data_sizeof(int32_t)") above appears to be generating
an unaligned access in get_sections as it is type casted into a struct in
get_sections. What is the purposeof the adding "sizeof(int32_t)"?
