Dear Nil,
There is nothing wrong in the code. I have tested the above code on my
FC3 system. It is working fine.
Coming to the size restrictions, the compiler allocates the sizes for
the structures in the multiple of 4 always. If you have the structure
like
struct size_test
{
int a;
char b;
}abc;
If you print the size of the above structure variable (abc) it shows you
8.
Bye the bye, what version of kernel is you using?
Thanks and Regards,
