Martin Liška <marxin at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |marxin at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #1 from Martin Liška <marxin at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Note that all GCC releases I have (4.5.0) warn the same about the attribute: pr82265.c:1:1: warning: ‘packed’ attribute ignored [-Wattributes] Question of the alignment is a different story, using packed attribute is probably an abuse of the attribute.
