[gnu.gcc.bug] gcc suggestion

kab@UUNET.UU.NET (Kenneth Bobey) (01/20/90)

How about adding a -f flag to force alignment (or a -W flag to
warn about it). I'd like to have a way detecting potential alignment
problems for different target machines. For example:

  struct {
    long unsigned int	a;
    char		b;	<-- !!!
    long unsigned int	c;
    long unsigned int	d;
  } fooT;
