typedef struct { double arrival; double departure; char status; int bookingid; int userid; } RoomStatus;
I'm using gcc with no compiler options or flags. Under linux with gcc, sizeof(RoomStatus) returns me 28 - as i would expect. If I use a borland C++ compiler it also returns a sizeof 28. But with cygwin + gcc it returns a sizeof 32. I'm a bit confused. Does cgwin + gcc align to nearest 8bytes for structs? Is there a compiler option to tell it to use 4 byte alignment? Is it just me whos having this problem?
I checked the sizeof for int, double and char and they all correct, changing the char to an int or specifically saying its a 4bit int doens't seem to make any difference.
