[PATCH spice-protocol 2/3] qxl_dev: Fix alignment for QXLReleaseInfo

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

 



Do not declare the structure as aligned.
The start/end-packed.h headers affects only MingW or Microsoft
compilers. To have unaligned structure with GCC compiler you have
to use SPICE_ATTR_PACKED. This way the definition are the same for
all compiler.
This structure is used in a lot of QXL structures which are not
aligned causing to have an aligned structure to be potentially
unaligned.
As this structure has no holes this change does not make any size
change using any compiler.
The change will only change the alignment from 4/8 to 1.
This could affect structures containing this union however beside
packed structure in qxl_dev.h (which are not affected) there are no
other usages as such by spice-gtk, Qemu or spice-server.
