Re: Misbehavior with setsockopt timeval structure with -fpack-struct enabled

[Drew B.]

Hi David!
Thanks for your answer. Just to feed my curiosity, why? Of course I 
could use:
#pragma pack(1, push)
...
#pragma pack(pop)
to pack only what is needed, but in the first place I was thinking about 
keeping as much free memory as possible (to make things optimized). And 
keep other things intact, but is it not a good practice placing 
-fpack-struct into compile-time params?

Kind regards,
Drew.
