struct alignment/pragma pack() question

charles saperstein

I have a structure that I think should be sizeof(mystruct) = 9 but sizeof(mystruct) is returning 10. the struct has a unsigned short, a float, and 6 unsigned char.

I thought it might be a packing issue. When I use #pragma pack(), I get a warning about unknown pragma.

I am using code composer studio 6 and a F28069.

The C2000 compiler does not support packing structures, with #pragma pack or any other method. The float must be on an even word boundary. So that is why there is a one word gap between the unsigned short and the float.

Thanks and regards,
