Alignment on Struct and Global Variable?

I know that after optimization is done under C++ compiler's option, it
always align byte and word into dword inside struct. What about global
variable in this slope?
If global variable has done with alignment by optimization, it would be
great when I write global variable inside namespace group. It has no impact
with the performance between global variable and struct, but they are always
the same.

….I would like to know which is the best optimization to use global variable or global struct. I always tell C/C++ Compiler to turn on optimization. ….I use underscore between first name and second name for better readable. After optimization, global variables might be misaligned because each global variables must be converted to 32 bits, but I do see that C/C++ Compiler do padding between variables. Struct does the same to do padding....

I am allocating a block of memory using malloc. I want to use it to store a "header" structure followed by structs in my application. How to calculate the alignment without making any assumption about the most restrictive type on my machine? Thanks.

I would like to check if I understand the following excerpt correctly: 6.2.5#26 (Types): All pointers to structure types shall have the same representation and alignment requirements as each other. All pointers to union types shall have the same representation and alignment requirements as each other. Does it mean that *all* structure (or union) types have the same alignment? Eg. type

Hi all. I know that some padding bits are inserted between data members of a structure. Is this rule also applied for the variables on local stack or global??? For example, in following code dumps... ------------ struct foo foo1; .... struct bar bar1;

Hi, we just run into the problem, that "default" alignment in the project properies dialog seem to be different. We have a project that's a DLL, which is linked with a couple of LIBs. All are with the same solution. All had "Default" set in the "Struct Member Alignment" entry. After some assembler debugging we found out that a struct member that is a member function pointer in

I have a program that does most of its work traversing a bunch of lists. The lists contain a void *, and I spent some time today replacing the void *'s with a copy of the data at the end of the structure as a zero length array. The performance improvement that resulted by avoiding the need to dereference the ptr was substantial, but it has left me with an uncertain feeling. In particular, changing an assignment caused the output to...

Here is some info on a C++ allocator prototype I am working on: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c++/browse_frm/thread/beeee1f61fdbb52c Any tried-and-true techniques for calculating the correct alignment of any C++ type the user can throw at it? For the initial code, I was assuming that the alignment(T) == sizeof(T)... Now that I am so close to being able to release this thing, I wanted to be able to stitch up this loose end. ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
