Which "Cygwin compiler"? I have about a dozen compilers in my cygwin environment. If you mean gcc-core-3.4.4-3 or gcc-mingw-core-3.4.4-20050522-1 please say so.
Oops sorry, I did miss out that important fact didn't I? I meant gcc-core-3.4.4-3
Cygwin per se infers no struct alignment at all
I'll be doing some further checks tomorrow but up until now, the struct alignment of gcc-core-3.4.4-3 seems to match MS Visual C++ when VC++ is set to 8-byte alignment (at least - it matches it more closely than when I set VC++ to 1-byte alignment). I'm not suggesting that either compiler is at 'fault' in any sense; they just do the same job slightly differently. This is why I want to find out what happens when they're both set to "no packing".
