Hi,
I build following code in gcc(4.6.0 20110212), the result of print is:
  temp1 = 0x11111111
  temp2 = 0x11111111
  temp3 = 0x22222211

howerer, in gcc(Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5), the result of print is:
  temp1 = 0x22111111
  temp2 = 0x22221111
  temp3 = 0x22222211

 Why temp1 equal to temp2 in gcc 4.6, but not in gcc 4.4?

Thanks

	int temp1 = *(int*)((char*)(&date1.u2)+1);
	
	printf("temp1 = 0x%x\n", temp1);

	int temp2 = *(int*)((char*)(&date1.u2)+2);
	
	printf("temp2 = 0x%x\n", temp2);

	int temp3 = *(int*)((char*)(&date2.u2)+3);
	
	printf("temp3 = 0x%x\n", temp3);

	return 0;
}
