>Description:
Two examples of ¡48! bytes structures:
typedef struct seguridad1{
char lic;
short time;
short date;
char FAT;
unsigned short suma;
char serial[4];
char nombre[36];
}seg1;
typedef struct seguridad2{
char lic;
char FAT;
short time;
short date;
unsigned short suma;
char serial[4];
char nombre[36];
}seg2;
well, this two structures are the "same", except by the position of char FAT.
if I use sizeof in the first one, it returns 50, and if I use sizeof in the second one, it returns 48, and the information is used in memory in differen ways (If I write this structures in a file, in the first one the two char vars are stored like two char vars each one, when only the first char is right of each "pair" of chars). What's the difference??? I can't believe that gcc doesn't know how to add bytes or how to manage structures.
I hope this can be solve, I need the first struct working like a 48 bytes struct, not like a 50 bytes struct.
Thanks, very cool compiler, especially for the way it use the memory (FAR).
>How-To-Repeat:
only try with these two structures with sizeof
printf("%s",(sizeof(seg1)==sizeof(seg2))?"Yes, gcc know how to add bytes":"Sorry");

State-Changed-Why:
GCC knows how to add bytes.
However, it appears you do not know about alignment or padding 8-)
Not a bug.
