30hack	netstat ieee1394 address printing.
31mdate	14 Nov 2000

33file	lib/libc/net/getnameinfo.c	: 1.32 : 497 : 503
34descr
35	Because the current implementation of IP over IEEE1394, the
36	fw device address contains more than just the IEEE1394 EUI-64.
37	So when printing out IEEE1394 addresses, ignore the extra stuff.

40hack	xterm vs. libterm

42who	jdc
43file	xsrc/xc/programs/xterm/main.c	: 1.2 : 3609 : 3614
44pr	10383
45descr
46	In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
47	introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
48	Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
49	entry, which will then be ignored by libterm.  As xterm modifies the
50	exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

54cdate	15 Mar 2002

56file	dev/ic/wireg.h
57descr	Add an option to access the underlying bus in big endian byte order
58	to work around deficiencies in bus_space_{read,write}_* macros.
59	Those don't allow the implementation of a proper pcmcia bus space
60	tag.

63hack	specific knowledge of colours in curses code
64cdate	Sun Apr  6 11:05:24 BST 2003
65who	jdc
66file	lib/libcurses/color.c : r1.24
67descr
68	Swap red/blue and yellow/cyan colours for COLOR_OTHER.
69	Fix is to enhance libtermcap to understand terminfo-style % sequences.

74hack	Compensation for differing types of LINUX_USRSTACK and USRSTACK
75cdate	21 Aug 2003
76who	he
77file	sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14
78descr
79	Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as
80	literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is
81	not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to
82	fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast".  This
83	is observed on e.g. the sun3 port.  Ideally the "types" for
84	symbols should be consistent across all ports.

87hack	GCC2 isn't C99
88cdate	5 December 2003
89who	mrg
90file	gnu/dist/binutils/ld/ldlex.c: r1.2
91descr
92	ldlex.c is generated from ldlex.l and we get macro redefinition
93	errors from it if __STDC_VERSION__ is not C99 compliant.  This
94	hack forces NetBSD 1.6 and later systems to also include <stdint.h>
95	to get the relevant definitions.  This hack should be backed out
96	when all platforms have switched away from GCC2.

103file	src/usr.sbin/racoon/racoon/Makefile : 1.21
104descr
105	GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
106	strict-aliasing rules" when compiling
107	crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this
108	is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and
109	not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix
110	applied is imported this should be backed out.

205descr
206	GCC 4.1 gets many uninitialised variable warnings wrong.  We should
207	really audit all the old hacks like this when older compilers are
208	removed from the tree, as many are probably no longer required.
209	The problem is that it does not recognize initialization via function
210	call pointer. I.e.
211		int p;
212		foo(&p);
213	does not mark p as initialized.
