Installing php-4.3.0 with php-4.3.0RC2-stat+onupdateint+zendparam.patch applied on Tru64 5.0A using gcc-3.0.4 results in two unaligned access errors as follows:

We have the 99% same problem on OpenBSD 3.1. Below is the output of 'make install':

forgot to mention - the compiler used is gcc 2.95.3!

I have encountered this problem and know where the problem lies.

The problem lies in the use of OnUpdateInt by the zlib extension, and by grep anyway in a half dozen other extensions. Despite the name, OnUpdateInt requires that the target be a long and not an int.

If you modify ext/zlib/php_zlib.h and change

        int output_compression;
        int output_compression_level;

to longs the problem will go away. The reason for this is that OnUpdateInt casts the pointer passed to it as a long* which on Tru64 is 64 bits vs. a 32 bit value for an int. When zlib is initialized, the first value is ok because it happend to be 64 aligned, but the second value is not, and so generates the unaligned warning. This is *not* a trivial problem as the assignment to the long* means the 64 bits gets written into a 32 bit space which means whatever follows in memory get trashed. Given the endian of the machine, the value appears correct if the int is checked though, but you get this apparently "random" data corruption of the next member of the structure.

This bug has the same root problem as is described in bug 20268.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the existing bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
