When compiling perf tool code with gcc 4.4.7 I'm getting
following error:
CC util/session.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session_deliver_event’:
tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:109: error: dereferencing pointer ‘p’ does break strict-aliasing rules
tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:101: error: dereferencing pointer ‘p’ does break strict-aliasing rules
util/session.c:697: note: initialized from here
tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:101: note: initialized from here
make[1]: *** [util/session.o] Error 1
make: *** [util/session.o] Error 2
The aliased types here are u64 and unsigned long pointers, which is safe
for the find_first_bit processing.
This error shows up for me only for gcc 4.4 on 32bit x86, even for
-Wstrict-aliasing=3, while newer gcc are quiet and scream here for
-Wstrict-aliasing={2,1}. Looks like newer gcc changed the rules for
strict alias warnings.
The gcc documentation offers workaround for valid aliasing by using
__may_alias__ attribute:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.0/gcc/Type-Attributes.html
Using this workaround for the find_first_bit function.
