           Summary: Concern over OBJECTS_NAME_ALIGNMENT
           Product: RTEMS
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: RTEMS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: cpukit
        AssignedTo: joel.sherrill at oarcorp.com
        ReportedBy: gedare at rtems.org


I was just browsing some code in score/object.h:

typedef union {
  #if defined(RTEMS_SCORE_OBJECT_ENABLE_STRING_NAMES)
    /** This is a pointer to a string name. */
    const char *name_p;
  #endif
  /** This is the actual 32-bit "raw" integer name. */
  uint32_t    name_u32;
} Objects_Name;


#define OBJECTS_NAME_ALIGNMENT     sizeof( uint32_t )

If the alignment requirement for the CPU is worse than 32-bits then this
alignment constant is probably wrong. What worries me is when the pointer
(name_p) is larger than 32-bits.
