Look in the docs for: "__attribute__((packed))" Now you know why I like Ada: it puts stuff where you tell it. The first compiler I saw that had the padding problem was the C compiler that came with SunOS 4.0.3 for the SPARC. I'm not sure if there was a way to force "wrong" alignment with that compiler, but good old Ada did it like a champ. If you've ever seen the disassembly of the RISC machine code you get when you force a load from the "wrong" boundary, it looks pretty amusing.
