"all computers" is too strong.
That struct will be aligned and packed the same on Mac OS X/PowerPC, Mac OS X/Intel, Windows/Intel and Linux/Intel, however.

OSC: what x86 desktop computers have a non-regular (non-32) bit integer implementation?
It's not magic, it's Ruby.

I don't understand the question, and I don't believe it would be a sane question even if I did understand it

not to revive a dead topic, but...can I put booleans in my structs and still have no packing or alignment issues?

packing/alignment issues are not related to the fields of a struct, you should always be serializing it "manually"
Sir, e^iπ + 1 = 0, hence God exists; reply!

wait, what? OSC said that if I used types of a fixed length like float or int32_t, I wouldn't have any packing issues...I'm just wondering if the same goes for boolean. How do you manually make sure that they're serialized?

Post: #26Code:
void write_struct(char * buffer, struct foo * foo) {
buffer = write_int8(buffer, foo->x);
buffer = write_int8(buffer, foo->y);
buffer = write_float8(buffer, foo->angle);
buffer = write_string(buffer, foo->player_name);
// etc
}Sir, e^iπ + 1 = 0, hence God exists; reply!
