Subject: CA on alphas

To get running on our alphas I grabbed the compiled libraries and binaries
for the alpha from Mark Rivers web site.  Thanks :) These are for EPICS
R3.12.  While using these I have encountered an interesting problem.  I
receive unaligned access errors from ca_array_put().  I traced them back to
issue_ca_array_put() in access.c.  When pdest and pvalue are incremented by
size_of_one.  At this point dbr_long_t has a size of 4 bytes (epicsInt32).
A long on an alpha is 8 bytes.  When the assignment is made between the two
arrays the type of long is used.  size_of_one needs to be 8 bytes.

I'm looking at R3.13.beta11 code.

Any suggestions.  The problem will appear when an extra 4 bytes is written
at the end of pdest.

Thanks

Geoff Savage
