But, theoretically speaking, nothing stops GCC to align pointers with "gaps" as well? Let's say having everything (or some) aligned on quadword boundary even though arch is 32 bit?
The alignment business only applies to aggregates (ie. structs and unions). This has been confirmed via several weeks of expermentation with different GCC versions on different platforms as well. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
