hack netstat ieee1394 address printing.
mdate 14 Nov 2000
who matt
file lib/libc/net/getnameinfo.c : 1.32 : 497 : 503
descr
Because the current implementation of IP over IEEE1394, the
fw device address contains more than just the IEEE1394 EUI-64.
So when printing out IEEE1394 addresses, ignore the extra stuff.

hack xterm vs. libterm
mdate 01 Aug 2000
who jdc
file xsrc/xc/programs/xterm/main.c : 1.2 : 3609 : 3614
pr 10383
descr
In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
entry, which will then be ignored by libterm. As xterm modifies the
exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

hack wi-at-big-endian-bus
cdate 15 Mar 2002
who martin
file dev/ic/wireg.h
descr Add an option to access the underlying bus in big endian byte order
to work around deficiencies in bus_space_{read,write}_* macros.
Those don't allow the implementation of a proper pcmcia bus space
tag.

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

hack Compensation for differing types of LINUX_USRSTACK and USRSTACK
cdate 21 Aug 2003
who he
file sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14
descr
Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as
literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is
not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to
fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast". This
is observed on e.g. the sun3 port. Ideally the "types" for
symbols should be consistent across all ports.
kcah
hack gcc-strict-aliasing
cdate 6 August 2004
who junyoung
pr 26516
file src/usr.sbin/racoon/racoon/Makefile : 1.21
descr
GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules" when compiling
crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this
is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and
not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix
applied is imported this should be backed out.

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

hack fallback to /usr/bin/clang-cpp in rpcgen
cdate Wed Jun 5 15:49:27 CEST 2013
who joerg
file src/usr.bin/rpcgen/rpc_main.c
descr
It is undecided which compiler owns /usr/bin/cpp and whether it should
exist in a MKGCC=no world. To allow rpcgen to work out-of-the-box,
if either gcc or clang is installed, use /usr/bin/clang-cpp as fallback.
This applies only if RPCGEN_CPP is not set and /usr/bin/cpp is not executable.
