I took a look at how libasr does it, and I have similar code ie. pack8(), pack16(), pack32(), I will just change all my functions, as unalignment flags passed per -m aren't standard on every arch. I did use __packed on structs already but the way libasr does is a great example I think. It's a bit of work but the fact that this could work on architectures like octeon make it worth it for me. Thanks a lot! -peter
