Struct alignment

[Ryan T. Sammartino]

Well, you can use -fpacked-struct, but that is generally considered a
bad idea ( http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.0/gcc_3.html#SEC51 ).


You should really consider using __attribute__((packed)).
This is what I use for (e.g.) reading in BMPs and such.

You may want to take a look at
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.0/gcc_5.html#SEC100
