SPARC is very sensitive about struct acces, uninitialized > pointers, it is a "bug hunter" :-P Hi Riccardo! I agree -- sparc is a good platform for bug hunting (and PPC and Alpha), though perhaps not quite as good as more modern tools like valgrind (if only we had that working properly on NetBSD!). I still have some sparc 32-bit hardware, but not the time to work with it at the moment. I don't know how much of it will still keep the smoke inside the wires when next powered on either. -- Greg A.
