Subject: | To pack or not to pack |
If one is writing rather than porting the code, IMHO the sensible course is to pack the structure oneself. Appropriate use can almost always be found for a stray byte or word reserved for future use, and anyone who needs to port the code will have no confusion as to where a piece of the structure is located.
