The following enumerated type definitions packs to one byte as expected in C,
but not in C++:
typedef enum __attribute__ ((packed)) {
ZERO = 0,
ONE,
TWO
} my_enum_t;
The enum will pack as expected if using -fshort-enums, but that doesn't allow
me to pack on a per-enum basis. Neither will the above enum pack as a packed
member in a structure or as a member in a packed structure.
Test case to follow.
