It seems to be a structure packing problem... the ff.c in djtst claims
that the offset of ff_name is 30; but the SAME test in my code returns
32. Why is the packing changing? I compile both sources with the same
command line!

Further examination shows that the fact that my file is a .cc and the
ff.c file is a .c matters. Why does the packing change????? they both
use the same include file dir.h, which lists the struct as being fully
packed!

Regards,


ABW
