>Description:
There are a couple of problems with #pragma pack, the most
severe of which is that the sequence of
#pragma pack(push, 8)
#pragma pack(2)
#pragma pack(pop)
leaves the packing set to 2. See example below.
The other issues are (a) the lack of the ability to specify
a default alignment from the command line (in which case the
plain #pragma pack() would have to restore that alignment
rather than zero) and (b) the failure to accept
#pragma pack(push) (i.e. without a new alignment, which
would be assumed to be set in a subsequent #pragma pack).
>How-To-Repeat:
#pragma pack(push, 8)
#pragma pack(2)
#pragma pack(pop)

struct s {
	unsigned u1;
	unsigned long long ull;
	unsigned u2;
};

unsigned test(const struct s*ps) {
	return ps->u2;
}
>Fix:
Have SET_GLOBAL_ALIGNMENT() initialize default_alignment
only if alignment_stack is NULL.
