Technically this can be done using macros:
#if (gcc)
# define BEGIN_PACKED _Pragma("pack(push,4)")
# define END_PACKED _Pragma("pack(pop)")
#elif (msvc)
# define BEGIN_PACKED __pragma(pack(push,4))
# define END_PACKED __pragma(pack(pop))
#else
/* Just tolerate a little padding. */
# define BEGIN_PACKED
# define END_PACKED
#end
Then you can do:
BEGIN_PACKED
struct hashmap_entry {
...
};
END_PACKED
Whether that's nicer or uglier than the alternatives I leave to you.
;-)
