--- Comment #7 from Eric Botcazou <ebotcazou at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-12-20 11:18:24 UTC --- > Huh, it's not. It's the same as a packed struct or enum type. No, it isn't, the mode is integral instead of BLKmode. In Ada we do support misaligned integers, but we simply wrap them in a BLKmode record. > Why can't you strict-align people simply fix this case? Because integral modes are naturally aligned. The only reasonable way to support the aforementioned abomination is to use the Ada approach.
