DATA_ALIGN pragma equivalent in GCC compiler?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2410

I am using MSP430F2410 in CC6.

Migrating code from TI V4.3.1 compiler to GCC in CCS6.0

I want to know what is the alternate for the below TI compiler code in GCC

#pragma DATA_ALIGN(GenPurposeBuffer, 2);
static BYTE GenPurposeBuffer[ MAX_BUFFER ]; // Accessed via GetBufferPtr()

GCC supports a number of attributes for variables (and functions and types). Something like this will work ...

static BYTE GenPurposeBuffer[ MAX_BUFFER ] __attribute__ ((aligned (2)));

By the way, the TI compiler also accepts these attributes.

Thanks and regards,

-George
