Coerce to a buffer type rather than using ~. : Does the byte-stringified version include internal and/or trailing : alignment padding? How do you specify the other choices? By default it's as like C as possible. Other choices would have to act something like pack templates and be hung on some appropriate declaration. : Whether or not trailing padding is included when byte-stringifying a : single compact struct, is the choice the same when byte-stringifying an : array of same? In other words, are you guaranteed that the : byte-stringify of an array of compact structs is merely the : concatenation of the byte-stringification of each struct? Yes. Larry
