#pragma pack

[mrs at wrs dot com (Mike Stump)]

I will be adding some form of #pragma pack to our C/C++ compiler on
most platforms to support the inclusion of third party headerfiles
that assume that the structures are packed.  The open question, is how
best to achieve that.  I tried HANDLE_SYSV_PRAGMA but that logic fails
to work, in fact, I don't see how most ports could make use of the
code in c-pragma.c.  Is there a port that someone can say does
currently work with that scheme?  My preference is to reuse the most
popular existing scheme.  Should I just blaze away and fix up c-pragma
to work as expected?  What is expected?

Also, does egcs want these types changes when I am done with them, or
do you prefer that the not go into the egcs distribution?

Please, I know and understand all the arguments against using #p
anything...  don't need to repeat those now.
