Hi,
IIRC this was related to some compiler warning, no?
Yes, recent compilers are reporting it, see below.
If it is I'd mentioning it , otherwise, ack.
Just this patch or the entire series?
No, actually i started looking at the second one and wondered why
we are using #include end/start-packed.h
It is mentioned in start-packed.h it's because "its not possible to put
pragmas into header files"
I think instead of
/* Ideally this should all have been macros in a common headers, but
* its not possible to put pragmas into header files, so we have
* to use include magic.
should be
/* Ideally this should all have been macros in a common headers, but
* its not possible to put pragmas into MACROS, so we have
* to use include magic.
and with C99 you can use _Pragma instead, but for coherence this
method is still fine.
and just after that we put pragma, into this header file.
What am i missing? or the comment is wrong?
Header code is fine, comment is surely misleading.

Do not declare the structure as aligned.
The start/end-packed.h headers affects structures without
specification only using MingW or Microsoft compilers. For other
platform SPICE_ATTR_PACKED macro should be used. 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.
What about changing this paragraph to:
"This structure is used in a lot of QXL structures which are not
aligned causing to have an aligned structure to be potentially
unaligned. Some compilers report a warning for some usage."
Not a big deal but maybe "Some compilers may report a warning"?
Anyway, ack for the change.
Thanks.
Just this patch or also the other one?
Yes, if not pushed yet, I'd also squash, but not necessary
anyway ack for both (squshed or not)
Snir.
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 affecting ABI by spice-gtk, Qemu or spice-server.
