Which makes me wonder how we should allocate empty structures, since the C and C++ ABI's differ in this aspect (like Rayiner mentioned). Since it's not standard C, but it is standard C++ perhaps we should make empty structures have size and alignment = 1 byte. So for now I'm commenting out this test STRUCT.ALIGNMENT.5 so that libtest is compilable with MSVC++. Is there any useful application of empty structs anyway? -- Luis Oliveira luismbo (@) gmail (.) com Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/po/registry.cgi?team=pt _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
