>Description:
When DOS format (EOL=CR-LF) files are compiled on the Linux system, random errors are created if there are lines with:
#pragma pack(x)

>How-To-Repeat:
// Compile this, with the file in DOS format (CR-LF, not
// just LF). 
// It compiles fine with just LF, but not with CR-LF.

#pragma pack(4)

int main()
{
return 0;
}


>Fix:
The correction is to get rid of the CR characters. But it would be nice if the parser did that for us. :)
