>Description:
The members of an anonymous union inside an anonymous struct are aligned with the first member of the anonymous struct. This affects Windows VARIANTs used in C programs. The bug does
not affect C++ programs.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ gcc anonbug.c -o anonbug
$ ./anonbug
offset v1 = 0
offset v2 = 4
offset v3 = 8
offset u1 = 4
offset u2 = 4
$ g++ anonbug.c -o anonbug # or MS/Borland/intel C/C++
$ ./anonbug
offset v1 = 0
offset v2 = 4
offset v3 = 8
offset u1 = 12
offset u2 = 12
>Fix:
Not a fix but a workaround that works for me.
A Windows VARIANT (Cygwin/Mingw32 oaidl.h, WINE oleauto.h) has this structure:
struct tagVARIANT {
union {
struct {
VARTYPE vt;
// reserved fields
union {
// any kind of variable
};
};
DECIMAL decVal;
};
} VARIANT;
Since nobody (?) actually uses decVal, a workaround for this specific instance is to #ifdef __cplusplus the outer anonymous union and struct.

I fixed this for 3.1, which will give:
neil@cat:/tmp$ ./a.out
offset v1 = 0
offset v2 = 4
offset v3 = 8
offset u1 = 12
offset u2 = 12
