Subject:      Re: Packed Align bug in G++ 2.7.2??

  To correct the buggy G++ 2.7.2 behaviour when packing structures, use:

#pragma pack(1) /* align by 1 byte boundary */

struct my_struct {
  short a;
  char b;    /* offset 2 */
  int b;     /* offset 3 */
};

#pragma pack()  /* restore default alignment */


if the structure is defined in a header file, do:

#pragma pack(1)

#include <header.h>

#pragma pack()


..hope this helps.
