This is true, but leaving some arbirary pragma pack(N) (for N != 0) in effect for the duration of a program, and expecting it to work sounds like a very defective programming approach to me. It will certainly not work on SPARC at all. if the program needs to pack something in a certain specific way, it need to do so for that specific something only. Otherwise the side-effects of globally setting a non-default packing will destroy the program anyway. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman KDE e.V. stefan.tele...@gmail.com
