Does it only happen on x86_64? I'm wondering if GCC does something bizarre like work with different default alignments based upon the section or something like that. If so, maybe adding the section attribute to the array definition will "fix" things? > On 32-bit architectures, we really want a aligned(4), and on 64-bit > architectures, aligned(8). Represent this by creating: > > #define __long_aligned __attribute__((__aligned__(__alignof__(long)))) Do any of these datastructures have, or will have, "u64" or "long long" types in them? If so, then we will need to use "8" unconditionally or "__alignof__(long long)". I'll see if I can work out why using no align directive explodes on x86-64. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
