Subject: Type size vs. actual size difference.
Date: 2000/03/20
Date: 2000-03-20T00:00:00+00:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8b5hhp$pvv1@svlss.lmms.lmco.com> (raw)

Using GNAT 3.12 on Win NT 4.0.  We have defined a record that has a length
of 214 bytes.  The type'Size attribute reports 214, but when we declare a
variable of the record type (X : Type) the size attribute X'Size reports
216.  It appears the actual variable size takes into account adjustments to
word boundaries (and of course the type'Size attribute can't do this).  Is
there a preprocessor command or pragma command that will force byte boundary
alignment so that the type size agrees with the actual size?

Thanks...
