Thanks Marc. Not sure what to do here. I need to the binary
data to be exactly the number of bytes as specified by the
struct.
Something else: The `align(1)` on your type definition specifies
the alignment of the entire struct, but has no effect on the
alignment of its fields relative to the beginning. Your probably
want this:
align(1) struct QuotesBin
{
align(1):
int qtim;
int bid;
int ofr;
int bidsiz;
int ofrsiz;
short mode;
char[1] ex;
char[4] mmid;
}
This align the struct as a whole, and all its fields at byte
boundaries. Without the second `align(1)`, there should be a gap
between `mode` and `ex`. Strangely enough, when I test it,
there's none. Will have to ask...
