- Deprecate -fpack-struct for C++. I'd like to deprecate it in 3.4 and remove
it from mainline. I guess it's not so widespread for C++ given the above issues
anyway. And we are not losing any semantic power since we still have attribute
packed anyway.

I would support deprecating -fpack-struct in C++.

(And in C for that matter! It's much better to use attributes and/or #pragma pack.)
