The gcc manual does not describe the behaviour of __attribute__((packed))
attached to a class definition, e.g.
class foo
{
unsigned char;
unsigned long;
} __attribute__((packed));
As far as I have observed, the behaviour is the same if foo would be declared
as struct. The gcc manual describes packed only for variables, structs and
enums.
