I'm not sure that last assumption is a good one. INN writes C structs directly to disk without the packed attribute and has never had problems due to that. (To be clear, this is definitely a bad approach; I didn't know better when I wrote my contribution to the problem, but do now. But it means that looking for packed won't find one case of this that I know exists.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
