| |
| <p><a name="index-data-alignment-on-SPARC-2164"></a><a name="index-SPARC-data-alignment-2165"></a>SPARC GAS normally permits data to be misaligned. For example, it |
| permits the <code>.long</code> pseudo-op to be used on a byte boundary. |
| However, the native SunOS assemblers issue an error when they see |
| misaligned data. |
| |
| <p><a name="index-g_t_002d_002denforce_002daligned_002ddata-2166"></a>You can use the <code>--enforce-aligned-data</code> option to make SPARC GAS |
| also issue an error about misaligned data, just as the SunOS |
| assemblers do. |
| |
| <p>The <code>--enforce-aligned-data</code> option is not the default because gcc |
| issues misaligned data pseudo-ops when it initializes certain packed |
| data structures (structures defined using the <code>packed</code> attribute). |
| You may have to assemble with GAS in order to initialize packed data |
| structures in your own code. |
