From: Jeff King Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2025 13:23:44 GMT Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] parse_pack_header_option(): avoid unaligned memory writes Message-ID: <20250119132344.GC1552263@coredump.intra.peff.net> In-Reply-To: <20250119131224.GA1541095@coredump.intra.peff.net> In order to recreate a pack header in our in-memory buffer, we cast the buffer to a "struct pack_header" and assign the individual fields. This is reported to cause SIGBUS on sparc64 due to alignment issues. We can work around this by using put_be32() which will write individual bytes into the buffer.
