Scalar types get aligned to their size, so since it's followed by a
pointer, there's 4 bytes of pad in between.
For anyone that hasn't seen this tool before, check out pahole from the
dwarves package. Run it on a .o file you think might be sucking up a
bunch of memory, and see your structs like:
class fs_inst : public backend_instruction {
public:
/* class backend_instruction <ancestor>; */ /* 0 32 */
/* XXX last struct has 7 bytes of padding */
class fs_reg dst; /* 32 48 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */
class fs_reg src[3]; /* 80 144 */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
bool saturate; /* 224 1 */
/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */
int conditional_mod; /* 228 4 */
uint8_t flag_subreg; /* 232 1 */
/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */
int mlen; /* 236 4 */
int regs_written; /* 240 4 */
int base_mrf; /* 244 4 */
uint32_t texture_offset; /* 248 4 */
int sampler; /* 252 4 */
/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
int target; /* 256 4 */
bool eot; /* 260 1 */
bool header_present; /* 261 1 */
bool shadow_compare; /* 262 1 */
bool force_uncompressed; /* 263 1 */
bool force_sechalf; /* 264 1 */
bool force_writemask_all; /* 265 1 */
...
/* size: 288, cachelines: 5, members: 21 */
/* sum members: 280, holes: 3, sum holes: 8 */
/* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 7 */
/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};
