I wasn't sure. The C99 standard does not specify what the behavior should be. It is implementation defined. I guess most implementations just set the alignment of the struct with the alignment of its most demanding member. I need to change how the alignment for nested structures is computed. Right now alignments are being computed as if the 'T{...}' codes were not there. I will hold off until we decide what that rule should be, but I think the most demanding element rule seems reasonable. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3132> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
