While porting the
coverage.c
file from RIOT to Zephyr (which employs different compiler flags) I noticed the following-Wcast-align
GCC warnings on arm:I think, as is, the current implementation may perform unaligned memory accesses which may not be supported on certain platforms. To workaround that, I have rewritten the code for RIOT using byte-wise writes using
memcpy
. Proposing a backport of this change as I figured it might be useful for Zephyr as well. If you are not interested in this change feel free to close this PR.
