Is this a bug?
I'm coding in plain 'C'.
I am trying to read and write GIS shapefiles.
They start with a header of 9 ints and 8 doubles.
So I used a structure eg:
struct hdr { int g1[9]; double g2[8] }; struc;
fread ( struc, 100, 1, fp1);
It was screwing up my doubles.

When, eventually, I experimented:
sizeof(g1); sizeof(g2), sizeof (struc).
I got 36, 64, 104.
Note 104, not 100.
Where is gcc placing the redundant 4 bytes?
Is 'struct' insisting on a doubleword boundary?
NB I got round the problem by using 2 fread()s
fread(struc.g1,36,1,fp1);
fread(struc.g2,64,1,fp1);
