![]() When compiling perf tool code with gcc 4.4.7 I'm getting following error: CC util/session.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session_deliver_event’: tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:109: error: dereferencing pointer ‘p’ does break strict-aliasing rules tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:101: error: dereferencing pointer ‘p’ does break strict-aliasing rules util/session.c:697: note: initialized from here tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:101: note: initialized from here make[1]: *** [util/session.o] Error 1 make: *** [util/session.o] Error 2 The aliased types here are u64 and unsigned long pointers, which is safe for the find_first_bit processing. This error shows up for me only for gcc 4.4 on 32bit x86, even for -Wstrict-aliasing=3, while newer gcc are quiet and scream here for -Wstrict-aliasing={2,1}. Looks like newer gcc changed the rules for strict alias warnings. The gcc documentation offers workaround for valid aliasing by using __may_alias__ attribute: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.0/gcc/Type-Attributes.html Using this workaround for the find_first_bit function.
