Meador Inge added the comment: I'm not to crazy about the trailing padding syntax either. The behavior is documented all the way back to Python 2.6. So, I would be hesitant to change it now.
If the new 'T{...}' struct syntax from issue3132 ever gets added, then maybe we could address this there? FWIW, internal and trailing padding is implementation defined by the C standard. That being said, most compilers I have worked with add the trailing padding. ---------- nosy: +meador.inge _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26746> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
