Hi,
Compiling the code below as "gcc -O1 test.c" I obtain the output:
0xbffff958 0xbffff95c 0xbffff960
That is, bytes 59, 5a and 5b are unused.
Instead, compiling it as "gcc -O2 test.c" I obtain:
0xbffff958 0xbffff95c 0xbffff959
That is, variables are reordered to get a more memory efficient.
My question is: Which GCC option allows variables reordering?
I would like to obtain just variable reordering, not all "-O2"
package; reading in the gcc manual, I singularly tried with all
options in "-O2" but no one reorders the variables.
many thanks,
Leo

THE CODE:
#include <stdio.h>
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char a;
long b;
char c;
printf("%p %p %p\n", &a, &b, &c);
}
