Re: [patch] pragma for __attribute__ ((__ms_struct__))



I don't think this is an issue of being compatible with different ObjC
compilers but more of an issue whether the provided encoding information
is useful in determining the layout. Some implementations of GNUstep
use the encoding to support message forwarding on some platforms esp.
when information is passed/compared between platforms with different
ABI's. I'm not sure whether we are using this encoding information in
addition to either libffi or ffcall on MinGW and or Cygwin.

I'll bow out here and look into it more next week once I have a better grasp on objc and more time on my hands.

If you want to take a look and determine if we _should_ do something please feel free to.
