Hi!
I'm having a problem, I can't find out how to align data on even bytes.
That is, if I create a struct with 4 uint8 (unsigned char) I want the struct to be 8 bytes in size.
Why ? It's a requirment for a jvm I try to run. I've tried with __attribute__ ((packed)), which I thought worked when I tried to
make a struct with one byte, one short and one interger.
But I had lots of "funny" errors so I checked it up a bit more just to se that that 2 unsigned chars used only 16 bit together, not
16 bits EACH.
Anybody got any idea how I should do instead ?
