The upcoming gcc-6 actually "miscompiles" ./miniruby due to these issues.

[naruse (Yui NARUSE)]

• Related to Bug #11979: gcc-6 fails to optimize regcomp.c:compile_length_quantifier_node() added

[ngoto (Naohisa Goto)]

Since r53543, unaligned word access can be disabled with ./configure CPPFLAGS="-DUNALIGNED_WORD_ACCESS=0"
I think the "load of misaligned address" error can be squashed by this.

Thanks Goto-san. This fixes the issue.

And BTW it turned out that the gcc-6 build failure (Bug #11979) is unrelated to alignment,
but it is fortunately already fixed in current gcc trunk (of today, Jan 15).

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

• Status changed from Open to Closed

Applied in changeset r53545.

disable unaligned word access

• regint.h: disable unaligned word access with gcc 6 or later.
  [Bug #11831]

It looks like the issue popped up again.
Both ruby-2.3.2 and ruby-2.2.6 defined PLATFORM_UNALIGNED_WORD_ACCESS
unconditionally on x86_64.
This is wrong and invokes undefined behavior.
