[llvm-dev] A struct {i8,i64} has size == 12, clang says size 16
I'm creating a struct of `{i8,i64}` and `DataLayout::getTypeAllocSize`
is returning `12`. `getStructLayout` also gives an `4` offset for the
second element.
The native ABI, and clang, for the same type are producing a size of 16,
with an alignment of 8, for the second element.
This is for the system triple "x86_64-linux-gnu"
What could be causing this difference in alignment and how can I fix it?
I'm verifying the native ABI with:
// clang -emit-llvm ll_struct_arg.c -S -o /dev/tty
#include <stddef.h>
typedef struct vpt_data {
_Bool c;
long int b;
} vpt_data;
int main() {
vpt_data v;
vpt_test(v);
auto a = sizeof(v);
auto off = offsetof(vpt_data,b);
}
16 is stored to `a` and 8 to `off`.

This is because of alignment requirements. The alignment for the 'i64'
is 8, so assuming the compiler is required to insert 7 bytes of padding between
the first member and the second to ensure that the second 'i64' member
is validly aligned.
You can use '__attribute__((packed))' to cause the compiler to remove
the padding, and the size will become '9'.

It sounds like your DataLayout may not match clang's for x86_64-linux. What does it say about the alignment of i64?

[llvm-dev] A struct {i8, i64} has size == 12, clang says size 16
The getABITypeAlignment <http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1DataLayout.html#a43556646ad677cfdcfde2b031fa59173> function is returning only 4 for an i64, which would explain the discrepency. I double-checked my triple again and ensured it's the same one as clang. That's apparently not enough. What else do I need to adjust to get the platform default ABI?

[llvm-dev] A struct {i8, i64} has size == 12, clang says size 16
I think I see a potential issue. My ExecutionEngine setup may not be using the same target as my object code emitting, and in this test case I'm running in the ExecutionEngine. I'll go over this code to ensure I'm creating the same triple and see if that helps -- I'm assuming it will, since I can't imagine the exact same triple with clang would produce a different layout.
