Hi, I'm wondering whether the ArchitectureSpecificsMemo[1] wiki page is (well-)known, and whether its content got reviewed, esp. by porters of each architecture, who could fix obvious errors or typos, or eventually add special-cases, exceptions, and the like. 1. http://wiki.debian.org/ArchitectureSpecificsMemo
One other thing that might be useful is alignment for each of 1, 2, 4, and 8 byte quantities, and the signal used for unaligned accesses. This would be useful because it would allow developers to immediately determine (e.g) what a SIGBUS on sparc means. Obviously, if a machine doesn't prohibit unaligned accesses (like the i386) then that field would be left blank. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only troff on top of XML: http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc/code/thwack OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
