Why do struct's take up a lot more memory than the sum of the sizes of its members ? This increases by even a lot more the larger the struct gets . If the compiler is doing padding or aligning I would like to disable and not have that at all since it is unnecessarily wasteful of memory ? I encountered a similar problem when declaring floating point variables independently outside a struct. The problem becomes worse if these floating point variables are struct members. -- Sent from: http://gcc.1065356.n8.nabble.com/gcc-Help-f629689.html
