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.
I see. OK, then I'll prepare a patch to switch over to struct + pointer
scheme.
Thanks,
Dmitry
