[lug] OFF: sizeof structs in gcc?

[Scott A. Herod]

Hello,

This is a kind of off topic but I'm hoping to avoid the gcc lists.

Is it true that gcc allocates space for objects/stucts in 4 byte
words?  Is there a way to avoid this?

Looks like winder's VC has a "#pragma pack" that can compact objects
but gcc seems to have nothing comparable.  It's not really a problem.
That's what bcopy is for.  I'm mainly just curious.

Thanks,

Scott Herod
