------- Additional Comments From nathan at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-02-14 10:27 ------- The killer with packing in C++ is that it is so easy to silently take the address of a field (pass by reference). Until we actually reflect unalignedness in the type system *no* packing is really safe in C++.
That said, I don't see why the warning would be different for a packed non-array member. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17519
