I'm building with a native ppc compiler (fedora 9 install) and I get:

dlmalloc.c:2444: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2483: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2483: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c: In function 'realloc': dlmalloc.c:2594: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2599: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2604: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2605: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2637: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2646: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2647: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c: In function 'calloc': dlmalloc.c:2896: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2897: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c: In function 'malloc_trim': dlmalloc.c:2987: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:2997: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:3008: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:3012: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules dlmalloc.c:3021: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

The warnings seem to come from:

#define bin_at(i) ((mbinptr)((char*)&(av_[2*(i) + 2]) - 2*SIZE_SZ)) #define next_bin(b) ((mbinptr)((char*)(b) + 2 * sizeof(mbinptr))) #define prev_bin(b) ((mbinptr)((char*)(b) - 2 * sizeof(mbinptr))) ..

#define top (bin_at(0)->fd) /* The topmost chunk */ #define last_remainder (bin_at(1)) /* remainder from last split */

but I can't seem to do anything to bin_at() to make them stop. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
