------- Comment #2 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-11-13 21:19 ------- There are going to be other holes in structs in general due to alignment requirements and I don't think the compiler or libstdc++ should change to this because it will slow down the generated code and not really makes a difference in the outcome of the code.
