Hi Phil,

That's surely something will make this code better!

But also, there is something worth discussing,
When triggered buffer is triggered here, I should push all the data into
userspace, and every time the buffer is enabled, the iio subsystem
automatically computes the alignment of my data. This sensor has 3
24bits channels, and my original thought of data alignment should be
like this because my machine is 32bits:
+----------+----+----+----+----+----+----+
| 3b(ytes) | 1b | 3b | 1b | 3b | 1b | 8b |
+----------+----+----+----+----+----+----+
3 bytes data and 1 byte for alignment, last 8 bytes for the timestamp.
Aligned to 4 bytes.
But the actual layout is like this:
+----------+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
| 3b(ytes) | 1b | 3b | 1b | 3b | 1b | 4b | 8b |
+----------+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
Soon after I debugged the code of industrial io core I found that in the
iio_compute_scanbytes() in industialio-buffer.c, alignment was computed
each channel a time, and was aligned with the length of next channel. (eg:
In the last case, before the timestamp channel was appended, there are
12 bytes already in the buffer, to align to the timetamp which is 8
bytes, it injected 4 bytes to make it 16, and then append timestamp. )
This leads to two questions:

1. I thought computer systems align their data in the memory for least
time access, shouldn't this always align to the bits of architecture,
like for a 32bits machine align to 4?? I'm a little confused here.
Jonathan must have considered something, Hoping to get some
explanations!

2. In this case I have 4 channels including the timetamp one, and I
thought it should be aligned like the first one. But actually it's
aligned like the second one, when I was testing the buffer, I got
confused, because the in_magn_x_type returned 24/32, 24/32, 24/32
and 64/64. If the iio core injected some empty bytes, shouldn't it
notify me? Or at least change the timestamp type in scan_bytes to
64/96>>0?? And when I only enabled two of three channels, the data
alignment in the buffer looks like this:
+----------+----+----+----+----+
| 3b(ytes) | 1b | 3b | 1b | 8b |
+----------+----+----+----+----+
Notice that 4 bytes have gone due to data of two channels have already
aligned to 8 bytes.
Hoping to get some answers, I'm very curious and interested about this!

yours,
Song Qiang
