alignment problems

[n***@cs.mun.ca]

Hello,

Palm OS Garnet Simulator threw the following alignment error at me.

run68k.c, Line:2256, Odd aligned write to 00F70017

Anyone see this before and know how it could arise?

Didn't think I had to worry about alignment issues
unless I were programming in assembly.

Thanks,

Neil

It could arise a lot of ways. For example:

char* cptr=0x0f70017;
int* iptr=(int*)cptr;
(*iptr)=4012;

You're forgetting that C is no more than assembly.
