Hi, Perhaps a little offtopic but no harm in trying ... Can we always rely on the fact that gcc will pad the following structure? typedef struct { int descrp; SYSCALL64_STRUCT_ATTR; (Automatic padding here?) long long pos; SYSCALL64_STRUCT_ATTR; int mode; SYSCALL64_STRUCT_ATTR; } lseek64_t; What is the correct way to make it portable? Explicitly added padding fields?
may be i am missing something but why is this not portable? And how does padding makes this portable? Please enlighten me. Thanks
