Subject: Thanks - structure alignment

 
 
Thanks to all that responded to my question on a work-around for
the 4-byte alignment.  removing the semicolon in
    #define PACKED __attribute__ ((packed));
didn't make any difference, gcc still crashed.  However, removing
the debug "-g" option from the compiler line did.  I now get a 
runtime "6" output from the following excerpt.  Thanks again to
one and all.
 
struct s_attach 
{ short  s;
  long   i PACKED;
};
 
void  main(void)
{ printf("%d\n",sizeof(struct s_attach));
}
