My problem is the following: I have an ARM Evaluation Board-1. Rev B. I receive data from a serial line. this data is placed in a linear buffer, and then i typecast to a struct of some kind. This data which i receive I cannot control, and have therefore to work with it as is. The structs contains other structs and so on and in the end it's only 16 or 8 bits values a extract. BUT these values are not aligned, and when I typecast I get the wrong values, since the buffer is "packed". How do I tell the compiler that the structs are to be packed ? I'm developing on NT4, using cygwin and gcc-2.95.2 (arm-elf-gcc). yours Jens Ohlund ------ Want more information? See the CrossGCC FAQ, http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/ Want to unsubscribe?
