Default struct member alignment

Hi

when setting the struct member alignment of a mixed code project to
'default', what is the actual alignment? I need to know since we're creating
(struct-) data dynamically and pass it to a third party component which
expects a 'default' member alignment.

Thanks,
Urs

When I'm reading from or writing to a network socket, I want to use a struct to represent the structured data, but must use an unsigned char buffer for the call to sendto() or recvfrom(). I have two questions: 1. Is it generally safe to "overlay" the structure on the buffer, e.g.: unsigned char buffer;

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

I want to use memcpy to copy the contents of one struct to another which is a superset of the original struct (the second struct has extra members at the end). I wrote a small program to test this, and it seems to work fine, but are there any cases where doing something like this could cause any problems? Here's the small program I wrote to test this: #include <stdio.h>

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

Hi friends, i am having some trouble in my prog. with struct member alignment. I have two different static libraries that i use, each with "struct member alignment" set to 8 bytes.

I'm taking an intro course on C++, and our teacher is not being clear on how stuct memory padding is determined. If the memory used by all components defined inside a struct falls between a certain gradient, a struct "rounds up" to the nearest multiple of the gradient. This teacher is somewhat erratic and has said on subsequent days that first the padding is rounded up to nearest multiple of 4, and then the nearest power of 2.

Hello, I'm asking myself all kind of questions on allocating an array of struct with proper alignment. Is the following code oorrect ? I'm most interested by the statement t = malloc(n*sizeof(r)) and (to a degree) by the surrounding error checking.

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...
