byte alignment with VC

traiger · 2005-05-05T07:47:08

does anyone know where the byte alignment options are for MS VC++ version 7.0? The options I'm refering to are those that allow you to specify the number of bytes in an int etc. There may not be any but I'm sure I've seen them somewhere. Thanks

Thanks for continued patience

Does the gcc example automatically pack to 1 byte?

Plus is the gcc platform indepentant, could I use it with VC?

thanks

alittle confused as to how to use that though.

#include <PshPack1.h>

void ReadFile(char *filename)
{

...

}

#include <PopPack.h>

Can't be right perhaps you could provide an example.

#include <PshPack1.h>
struct TGAHeader
{
unsigned char ...
...
...
};
#include <PopPack.h>

and as a side note, this does the same thing as what CustardSlice suggested, the headers just take care of the pushing and popping so you only have to think about which alignment you want.

Guess what...

I need to do this again but in Linux using gcc.

should the PshPack and PopPack headers be available because I cant find them?

thanks
