Hi, folks, I'm having trouble seeing how layout is specified at the GENERIC level for RECORD_TYPEs. The docs and comments in tree.def say that you cannot rely on the order of fields of the type. In stor-layout.c, layout_types() seems to do the obvious thing, taking the fields in order, but the docs make it sound like there is no way to be sure what you'll get.
Theoretically this would mean that you couldn't even reliably link a structure in two separate compilation units, which is bogus. Could someone please clear up my confusion? Thanks, Jerry Quinn
