Hi,
__attribute__((packed)) is used mainly to pack and align structures with
different data types
struct {
/* structures and different data types */
} my_struct __attribute__ ((packed));
You've got a single pointer and there is nothing to pack there.

Subject: __attribute__((packed)) ?
hi all,
this is off-topic, but please forgive me for this. i'am in a hurry !
/* test.c */
main()
{
void **blkPtr __attribute__((packed)) ;
}
both
1) gcc test.c
2) arm-linux-gcc test.c
gives me the same warning :
mine.c :3: warning:'packed' attribute ignored.
Any hints ?
cheers,
Amith
PS: even
void __attribute__((packed)) **blkPtr; doesnt work :-( !
