What?! That whole section in the docs talks about attributes on types. If it doesn't work as described, then the docs need some serious rework.
From what I see, the example for packed types doesn't even compile:
(Direct cut'n'paste from http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/Type-Attributes.html#Type- Attributes):
# cat tmp.c struct my_unpacked_struct { char c; int i; };
struct my_packed_struct __attribute__ ((__packed__)) { char c; int i; struct my_unpacked_struct s; };
# gcc -Wall -o tmp.o -c tmp.c tmp.c:8: error: syntax error before '{' token tmp.c:12: error: syntax error before '}' token
# gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22.fc3)
