Strange code in _dl_mallocHi all,
I noticed some rather strange code in _dl_malloc, and was wondering whether this patch might be appropriate. It looks like the code is intended to do an alignment, but the use of & would appear to be equivalent to an assignment. >From 6bd671f8248ede388f1765d3af5f784b780b5c9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Newton <will.newton@...> Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2009 15:57:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ldso/ldso/ldso.c: Improve code readability in _dl_malloc.
