How to make the address of varients are assigned immediately in the memory?

This message is hardly suitable for any of the lists to which you cross
posted, even if you had posted in text rather than html.  gcc-help might
be appropriate.  If you wish to avoid padding within your structures,
you could follow the traditional approach of setting the fields in
decreasing order of size {long, short, short, short}, or read up on the
non-portable pack declarations which gcc has to deal with this.

Hi,gcc groups:
    what configurations or options can make the compiler assigned
sequential memory for short and long type data defined immediatly.
    For instance, I defined a structure {short,long ,short,short},if I
only use gcc to compile the c file.
the memory size of the struture is 12 bytes, not 10 bytes. This means
the memory block is not full occupied. How can I make it full occupied.

Best Regards!
