------- Additional Comments From mcvick_e at iname dot com 2005-08-23 22:24 ------- The data access exception is incorrect in this sense. The software developer had updated the status of this issue and states that this causes a Machine Check exception to occur on our current hardware.
The observation made earlier that padding the structure with a byte clearing up the issue is still a factual statement. We will have to discuss this with our hardware engineers as to why this occurs, however the issue is the same, since this hardware cannot be modified. The software is for space based satellites which have already been launched. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23539
