alignment problem allocating pure_float

alignment problem allocating pure_float

[b.gunreben]

Hi, 
 
when comiling emacs on hppa-linux-gnu, I had the following error: 
 
> LC_ALL=C ./temacs -batch -l loadup dump 
... 
Loading term/tty-colors... 
make[1]: *** [emacs] Bus error 
 
I found, that there is a problem in src/alloc.c, where pure_bytes_used becomes aligned 
for pure_floats, but PUREBEG is only int alinged. So the resulting adress after 
aligning pure_bytes_used to pure_float is still int aligned. 
 
The emacs version I used is 21.2. I could fix this problem with the following diff: 
 
# cat alloc_pure_float.patch  
--- src/alloc.c 2003/01/02 16:39:01     1.1 
+++ src/alloc.c 2003/01/02 16:41:01

 #else 
       alignment = sizeof (struct Lisp_Float); 
 #endif 
-      pure_bytes_used = ALIGN (pure_bytes_used, alignment); 
+      pure_bytes_used = (ALIGN (pure_bytes_used + (long) PUREBEG, alignment)) - (long) 
PUREBEG; 
     } 
      
   nbytes = ALIGN (size, sizeof (EMACS_INT)); 
 
Please fix possible wrong linebreaks before applying. I can also send this patch as 
attachement if needed.
