c - How to trap unaligned memory access? -


i working on pet open-source project implements stream cipher algorithms , having trouble bug triggered when run on arm processor. have tried running arm binary in x86 under qemu, bug isn't triggered there.

the specifics mechanisms of bug remains elusive, best shot believe caused unaligned memory access attempt made in program, fulfilled qemu, silently ignored real arm processor in development board.

so, since problem showing hard diagnose, know if there tool use trap unaligned memory access made running program, can see problem happens.

i use way of enabling, on arm development board, signal (sigbus, maybe?) issued if process violates memory alignment restrictions, sigsegv when accessing unmapped memory address. running linux 2.6.32.

linux can fixup or warn access.

you can enable behavior in /proc/cpu/alignment, see http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/documentation/arm/mem_alignment explanation of different values.

0 - nothing (default behavior) 1 - warning in kernel-log pc , memory-address printed. 2 - fixup error 3 - warn , fixup 4 - send sigbus process 5 - send sigbus , output warning

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua
