Alan's point. My point was you could rely on gcc not padding structures when you always explicitly padded to natural alignment boundaries. Eg when you do struct { u16 s; u32 l; } you deserve to get burned, but when you do struct { u16 s; u16 unused; u32 l; } you can expect gcc not to be smart on you. Philipp
