------- Comment #3 from david dot rosenborg at pantor dot com 2008-10-07 09:31 ------- Ah, no, I wasn't aware of that document. I just thought that gcc was treating the Good and Bad cases inconsitently.
Now, in layman's terms, is the reason for the padding that no two distinct instances of Empty may share the same address? If that is the case, it would explain the padding and this is not a bug. Sorry, should have investigated more before hitting the commit button. /David -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37762
