That reminds me of an experience targeting x86 Windows and G3 Mac (IBM 750 PowerPC) with some C networking code (a thin client). Immediately I got a “bus error” on the Mac, even though it worked fine on the Penguin III. I found the problem was a misaligned memory access - a blatant mistake on my part - that the Penguin III just covered for somehow. You can read this as an example of the robustness principle, but I recall feeling I’d prefer the CPU just tell me something is wrong and not cover it up. |
