Data Alignment !!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all, Could somebody explain the concept of data alignment in Linux. I
was going through the source code of  via-rhine.c (a network device
drover source code) and a lot of  the source code is to handle the
problem of data alignment. I went through the explanation given in LDD
but could not fathom as to what would happen if data alignment is not
done.
 
Thanks in advance.
