number_decimfmtprops.cpp has unaligned static memory

    Details

      Description

      The file has the following code:

        char kRawDefaultProperties[sizeof(DecimalFormatProperties)];
  ...
  void U_CALLCONV initDefaultProperties(UErrorCode&) {
      new(kRawDefaultProperties) DecimalFormatProperties();
  }

      We have a report that this causes a crash on ARM. The DecimalFormatProperties is being constructed into an unaligned char array, and the DecimalFormatProperties' MeasureUnit field assigns to an int32_t field in its ctor.

      Possible fix: add alignas as follows:

      alignas(DecimalFormatProperties)
char kRawDefaultProperties[sizeof(DecimalFormatProperties)];
