--- Comment #22 from Hanoch Haim <hhaim at cisco dot com> ---
"Of course it does, because without aligning the container you cannot have
aligned members. Maximum alignment always propagates outwards."
Sorry, your answer is still not clear, so let give a short example
In this case there is a discrepancy betwean two gcc modules
1. The module that generates the code think that it is aligned (CCPortLatency)
2. However the linker puts it in a none aligned location
"
class CTimeHistogram {
} __rte_cache_aligned;
class CCPortLatency {
public:
CTimeHistogram m_hist;
};
class Root {
CCPortLatency port;
} __rte_cache_aligned;
static Root root;
"
In this case can I expect root.port to be aligned because its child (m_hist)
was defined as aligned and it propogate? Or should I explicitly ask both to be
aligned?
