Not sure if I misunderstand your question, but what assures that in mem "first" is base and then "myData" is the order you declare them in the struct. The order in C structs matters, and implies the order in memory. Note, however, that padding might be used between "base" and "myData". But the order will be kept. But this just C and not related to libev, if I understand the question correctly :) Thanks, Rodrigo _______________________________________________ libev mailing list libev@lists.schmorp.de http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/libev
