As xterm modifies the 50 exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored. 51kcah 52 53hack wi-at-big-endian-bus 54cdate 15 Mar 2002 55who martin 56file dev/ic/wireg.h 57descr Add an option to access the underlying bus in big endian byte order 58 to work around deficiencies in bus_space_{read,write}_* macros. 59 Those don't allow the implementation of a proper pcmcia bus space 60 tag. 61kcah 62 63hack specific knowledge of colours in curses code 64cdate Sun Apr 6 11:05:24 BST 2003 65who jdc 66file lib/libcurses/color.c : r1.24 67descr 68 Swap red/blue and yellow/cyan colours for COLOR_OTHER. 69 Fix is to enhance libtermcap to understand terminfo-style % sequences. 70 See also: 71 http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-userlevel/2003/04/06/0000.html 72kcah 73 74hack Compensation for differing types of LINUX_USRSTACK and USRSTACK 75cdate 21 Aug 2003 76who he 77file sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14 78descr 79 Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as 80 literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is 81 not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to 82 fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast". This 83 is observed on e.g. the sun3 port. Ideally the "types" for 84 symbols should be consistent across all ports. 85kcah 86 87hack gcc-strict-aliasing 88cdate 6 August 2004 89who junyoung 90pr 26516 91file src/usr.sbin/racoon/racoon/Makefile : 1.21 92descr 93 GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break 94 strict-aliasing rules" when compiling 95 crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this 96 is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and 97 not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix 98 applied is imported this should be backed out. 99kcah 100 101hack gcc4 wrong uninitialized variable 102mdate 10 May 2006 103who mrg 104file bin/ksh/eval.c : 1.6 105file bin/sh/histedit.c : 1.39 106file bin/sh/parser.c : 1.60 107file crypto/dist/heimdal/kdc/524.c : 1.10 108file crypto/dist/ssh/sftp.c : 1.20 109file crypto/dist/ssh/ssh-keysign.c : 1.11 110file dist/ipf/lib/hostname.c : 1.2 111file dist/ipf/tools/ipmon.c : 1.8 112file dist/ntp/ntpd/ntp_request.c : 1.4 113file dist/ntp/ntpd/refclock_shm.c : 1.4 114file dist/ntp/sntp/timing.c : 1.3 115file dist/pppd/pppstats/pppstats.c : 1.3 116file dist/smbfs/lib/smb/rap.c : 1.6 117file dist/tcpdump/print-zephyr.c : 1.5 118file distrib/utils/sysinst/aout2elf.c : 1.12 119file gnu/libexec/uucp/uucico/uucico.c : 1.6 120file lib/libc/citrus/citrus_csmapper.c : 1.6 121file lib/libc/citrus/citrus_pivot_factory.c : 1.5 122file lib/libc/inet/inet_cidr_ntop.c : 1.3 123file lib/libc/inet/inet_ntop.c : 1.3 124file lib/libc/stdio/vfwprintf.c : 1.8 125file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/m68k/mdreloc.c : 1.20 126file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/powerpc/ppc_reloc.c : 1.40 127file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/sh3/mdreloc.c : 1.22 128file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/sparc/mdreloc.c : 1.39 129file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/sparc64/mdreloc.c : 1.39 130file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/vax/mdreloc.c : 1.21 131file libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/x86_64/mdreloc.c : 1.27 132file sbin/fsck_ext2fs/dir.c : 1.19 133file sbin/routed/rtquery/rtquery.c : 1.18 134file sys/arch/amd64/amd64/pmap.c : 1.26 135file sys/arch/i386/pci/piixpcib.c : 1.4 136file sys/arch/m68k/m68k/pmap_motorola.c : 1.4 137file sys/crypto/cast128/cast128.c : 1.9 138file sys/ddb/db_command.c : 1.86 139file sys/dev/cardbus/cardbus_map.c : 1.21 140file sys/dev/fss.c : 1.25 141file sys/dev/ic/igsfb.c : 1.39 142file sys/dev/ic/mb86950.c : 1.5 143file sys/dev/ic/midway.c : 1.71 144file sys/dev/kttcp.c : 1.18 145file sys/dev/rasops/rasops_bitops.h : 1.9 146file sys/dev/pci/cmpci.c : 1.31 147file sys/dev/pci/machfb.c : 1.45 148file sys/dev/usb/ohci.c : 1.174 149file sys/dev/usb/uhci.c : 1.196 150file sys/dev/rasops/rasops_bitops.h : 1.9 151file sys/dist/ipf/netinet/ip_nat.c : 1.10 152file sys/dist/ipf/netinet/ip_rpcb_pxy.c : 1.8 153file sys/dist/pf/net/pf.c : 1.22 154file sys/fs/udf/udf_vnops.c : 1.4 155file sys/kern/kern_sig.c : 1.219 156file sys/kern/tty.c : 1.181 157file sys/net/bpf.c : 1.116 158file sys/net/zlib.c : 1.26 159file sys/netccitt/if_x25subr.c : 1.37 160file sys/netinet/in.c : 1.107 161file sys/netsmb/smb_smb.c : 1.27 162file sys/netsmb/smb_trantcp.c : 1.22 163file sys/nfs/nfs_serv.c : 1.108 164file sys/nfs/nfs_socket.c : 1.129 165file sys/nfs/nfs_syscalls.c : 1.91 166file sys/ufs/lfs/lfs_vfsops.c : 1.207 [also (char *)] 167file usr.bin/ftp/ftp.c : 1.140 168file usr.bin/find/function.c : 1.54 169file usr.bin/mail/tty.c : 1.20 170file usr.bin/msgc/msg_sys.def : 1.33-1.34 171file usr.bin/nl/nl.c : 1.7 172file usr.bin/systat/keyboard.c : 1.23 173file usr.bin/usbhidctl/usbhid.c : 1.29 174file usr.bin/vi/cl/cl_read.c : 1.5 175file usr.bin/vi/ex/ex_cscope.c : 1.12 176file usr.bin/vi/ex/ex_tag.c : 1.19 177file usr.bin/vi/vi/v_txt.c : 1.15 178file usr.sbin/altq/altqstat/qdisc_rio.c : 1.4 179file usr.sbin/cron/do_command.c : 1.19 180file usr.sbin/timed/timed/slave.c : 1.15 181descr 182 GCC 4.1 gets many uninitialised variable warnings wrong.

G++ uses __builtin_cabs{,f,l} to implement those and they 416 translate by default to cabs{,f,l} which gets defined to cabs{,f} (the 417 wrong function) and an undefined cabsl. I've changed <complex> to use 418 the __c99_cabs{,f,l} directly.
