Okay, in that case, how does one change the alignment of the structure? The
only way I'm aware of to
do this is with attribute packed, but that will also modify the inter-field
padding of the structure. For
example, in this case:
struct Test {
double D __attribute__((packed,aligned(4)));
short X;
int Y;
short Z;
} __attribute__((packed,aligned(4)));
Not only is the alignment of the structure reduced to 4 bytes, the structure is
also packed, resulting in
the 'int' being unaligned and the size of the structure being 16 bytes (instead
of 20).
"it sure would be nice if you could use 'attribute aligned' to reduce alignment
without attribute packed"
