...everything else. > %J = type { inherit %I, i8 } > > the inherit keyword before %I removes the tailpadding That's what the packed is for. %Base = type { i32, i8 }; // size = 8 %POSDerived = type { %Base, i8 }; // i8 offset = 8, size 12 %Basep = packed type { i32, i8 }; // size = 5 %nonPOSDerived = type { %Basep, i8 }; // i8 offset = 5, size 8 cheers, --renato
