------- Comment #3 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-04-25 15:08 ------- The problem is that struct colour is laid out like
arg 0 <parm_decl 0x2b4f8506e2d0 c type <pointer_type 0x2b4f85160780 type <record_type 0x2b4f85160540 colour> unsigned DI size <integer_cst 0x2b4f85068b70 constant invariant 64> unit size <integer_cst 0x2b4f85068ba0 constant invariant 8> align 64 symtab 0 alias set -1 canonical type 0x2b4f85160780> used unsigned DI file t.c line 10 col 25 size <integer_cst 0x2b4f85068b70 64> unit size <integer_cst 0x2b4f85068ba0 8> align 64 context <function_decl 0x2b4f8515fea0 foo> initial <pointer_type 0x2b4f85160780> (reg/v/f:DI 58 [ c ]) arg-type <pointer_type 0x2b4f85160780> incoming-rtl (reg:DI 5 di [ c ])>> which doesn't match its natural alignment nor size. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36043
