--- Comment #2 from lavr at ncbi dot nlm.nih.gov --- I don't want my structure to be aligned at the int boundary. I want my structure to reflect the actual data layout "byte","byte","short","int" as they are laid out without any gaps, and "packed" guarantees such a disposition. I also don't want GCC issue warnings "just in case" where there's nothing happening: like I said the "short int" field is located at the native "short int" offset (multiple of 20, so there's no need for the warning; and so on with the int field. GCC should worry only if, for example, an int is placed at an odd offset, or, for 4 byte ints, at an offset not multiple of 4.
