Hi,
I have a user who complained about how "struct" module computes C
struct data size on Itanium2 based 64-bit machine.
His first reproducer was
--------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import struct
fmthead = '12id5i5d7id5i3di12i3di'
fmtsize = struct.calcsize(fmthead)
print fmthead,fmtsize
--------------------------------------
And it prints 12id5i5d7id5i3di12i3di 292
And he further provided
>>struct.calcsize('idi')
16
>>struct.calcsize('idid')
24
>>struct.calcsize('did')
20
In response to those, I created corresponding C struct and computed the
data size using "sizeof" operation (gcc was used for compilation), but
they don't seem to match.
Is this a known problem?
Best,
-Dong
