Well that sort of stuff is supposed to be covered by the ABI. Consider that if it didn't then you wouldn't be able to use any of the standard libraries without recompiling them for each compiler since a number of standard library APIs depend on structs like timeval or stat. I'm not saying there aren't risks, but in theory it's supposed to work. -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
