Bug #79311 [Opn]: enchant_dict_suggest() function fails on Big endian architecture

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79311&edit=1 ID: 79311 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: vibhutisawant18 at gmail dot com Summary: enchant_dict_suggest() function fails on Big endian architecture Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Variables related Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04 PHP Version: master-Git-2020-02-27 (Git) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Using memcpy() to assign a size_t value to an int variable is … interesting. I'd *start* by changing this to proper assignments. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-02-27 10:50:17] vibhutisawant18 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ ext/enchant/tests/dict_suggest.phpt TC fails as enchant_dict_suggest function is not compatible on Big Endian architecture. The failure is observed at memcpy function in ext/enchant/enchant.c. enchant_dict_suggest function fails to return an array of suggestions, instead it returns null object. It can be observed that the n_sugg variable is of type int(4 bytes) whereas the n_sugg_st variable is of type size_t(8 bytes). Hence due to different memory alignment on big endian system, the memcpy fails to copy the memory blocks containing actual data. AS a workaround, I found that by declaring data type of n_sugg as size_t instead of int, the TC passed on both, Little and Big endian system.Kindly let me know if I shall raise a PR with this changes. PFB test result observed on Little and big endian architecture for respective TC(ext/enchant/tests/dict_suggest.phpt).
