Why are they badly aligned? The fact that long double is 12 bytes long doesn't mean it will force a 12-byte alignment - just whatever alignment is enough for a long double on the target machine. This could be 4, 8 or 16 bytes. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
