Re: [Sablevm-developer] powerpc port status

[David P. B. <db...@CS...>]

Hello,

There something I don't quite get

native.c around line 1240:

Original code (does not work on PPC):
      case SVM_TYPE_BOOLEAN:
         params[0].jint =3D *((jboolean *) &result[0]);


Could it be simply replaced by (works on PPC):
  params[0].jint =3D result[0].jint;
instead?

or is the address taken, cast, deference for some reason?  I guess it
depends on how the data is stored in _svmt_stack_value_union by ffi_call
and how the union is layed out in memory?
