[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-21665) 11.X Crash on debian/sparc with SIGBUS, Bus Error

[Walter Doekes (JIRA)]

Walter Doekes commented on ASTERISK-21665:
------------------------------------------

A quick google search turned up this today:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Interoperation.html

On Solaris, the malloc function in the libmalloc.a library may allocate memory that is only 4 byte aligned. Since GCC on the SPARC assumes that doubles are 8 byte aligned, this may result in a fatal signal if doubles are stored in memory allocated by the libmalloc.a library. The solution is to not use the libmalloc.a library. Use instead malloc and related functions from libc.a; they do not have this problem.

That might be something to go on when I have time to play around with it.
