Hi,

Yes, but only in memory on 32-bit (and pseudo-64bit) machines
Of course, of course. Them are 32-bit aligned because of using 32-bit processor.

Another question. I'm compiling the program with Visual Studio 2003 .NET and when using GNU/Linux I will have to compile with GCC, will the behavior be different? I'm asking this because I don't know what "__attribute__((packed))" do.

Thanks,
