Does FPC ensure the same memory alignment for records and objects over different platforms? If I want to be sure to have the same alignment must I use packed (with possibly some aligning assigned) records instead in combination with data types that are guaranteed to be of the same size over the different platforms (eg byte, word, single) ? Or do unpacked records behave the same over different platforms?
Please note that you might also need to take care of different endianess (big endian vs. little endian) if you want to transfer such record data (e.g. through files) between systems with different endianess. In that case you'll need to write the record field by field and convert the endianess in one of the two cases...
