HI,
I'm having some difficulties getting my app
to run properly after converting from GCC++.
It is giving 2-4 byte alignment error, odd byte memory address.
The GCC++ code uses __attribute__ ((packed))
here is my structure
// GCC++ version for reference
typedef struct
{
UInt16 idxRecord __attribute__ ((packed));
UInt16 offset __attribute__ ((packed));
UInt8 len __attribute__ ((packed));
} ListRecordType, *ListRecordPtr;
// converted CW9++
#pragma options align=packed
typedef struct
{
UInt16 idxRecord;
UInt16 offset;
UInt8 len;
} ListRecordType, *ListRecordPtr;
#pragma options align=reset
in my code is do to access the structure
....
int index;
ListRecordPtr pRecord;
// get the point to the packed record
pRecord = GetRecordPtr(....);
// get the index from the packed record
index = pRecord->indRecord; <------ odd byte memory address error
after the crash the value shown in the debugger is correct but
access to the structure pointer gives error in the code.
questions:
1. is the above the correct way to convert packed records from
GCC++ to CW9?
2. How do I fix the odd byte memory fatal error
thanks
