ARM and padding

[jens.ohlund@secrc.abb.se]

Hi !

It doesn't help. I've made a struct like this:
struct
{
  unsigned char buf[250] __attribute__ ((packed));
  unsigned char currPos __attribute__ ((packed));
  unsigned int  remainingBytes __attribute__ ((packed));
  unsigned char state __attribute__ ((packed));
} __attribute__ ((packed)) lowRx;

And still, it's on the adresses:
&buf[] = 0x241E0
&currPos = 0x242DA
&remainingBytes = 0x242DC
&state = 0x242DF

Which makes the sizes:
buf -> currPos =  250
currPos -> remainingBytes = 2 !!!!!
remainingBytes -> state = 4

currPos -> remainingBytes should only be 1.

This is just one struct out of many, with the same problem. I can change Some of them, as this example. But not many compared to
amount of troublesome structs.

yours
Jens

__attribute__ (( packed )).  See the gcc manual.
