Message-ID: <82u4s5$vuk$1@nnrp1.deja.com> (raw)

To make a long story short, I am putting together some
"portability guidance" documentation/training material wrt

   use of rep specs
      (we have some code being ported across platforms and
       compilers that used _unfortunately_ what amounts to
       compiler dependent rep specs

       "wider than needed" rep specs

   pragma pack

   usage of 'alignment

   how to write rep specs when internal components need a
   specific alignment

   etc.

I imagine that this probably exists "out here" somewhere or in
pieces in multiple places.  I'll be making this same request of
the vendors that I am dealing with, but I thought I would make
a general community request instead of going to chat@gnat.com
(since they are one of the vendors with whom we are dealing.)

Thanx

Joe
