------- Comment #2 from dannysmith at users dot sourceforge dot net 2007-10-18 21:04 ------- The native compiler MSVC++ does not limit field alignment to 64 bits, but as documented here Windows Data Alignment on IPF, x86, and x64 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa290049(VS.71).aspx
supports at least up to 256-bit field alignment (see Listing 5 in above article). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33774
