Before, via pahole: arm32, a 32-bit host which aligns uint64_t:
struct Property { const char * name; /* 0 4 */ const PropertyInfo * info; /* 4 4 */ ptrdiff_t offset; /* 8 4 */ uint8_t bitnr; /* 12 1 */ /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */ uint64_t bitmask; /* 16 8 */ _Bool set_default; /* 24 1 */ /* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */ union { int64_t i; /* 32 8 */ uint64_t u; /* 32 8 */ } defval; /* 32 8 */ int arrayoffset; /* 40 4 */ const PropertyInfo * arrayinfo; /* 44 4 */ int arrayfieldsize; /* 48 4 */ const char * link_type; /* 52 4 */ /* size: 56, cachelines: 1, members: 11 */ /* sum members: 46, holes: 2, sum holes: 10 */ }; arm64, an arbitrary 64-bit host: struct Property { const char * name; /* 0 8 */ const PropertyInfo * info; /* 8 8 */ ptrdiff_t offset; /* 16 8 */ uint8_t bitnr; /* 24 1 */ /* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */ uint64_t bitmask; /* 32 8 */ _Bool set_default; /* 40 1 */ /* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */ union { int64_t i; /* 48 8 */ uint64_t u; /* 48 8 */ } defval; /* 48 8 */ int arrayoffset; /* 56 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ const PropertyInfo * arrayinfo; /* 64 8 */ int arrayfieldsize; /* 72 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ const char * link_type; /* 80 8 */ /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 11 */ /* sum members: 66, holes: 4, sum holes: 22 */ }; Afterward there are no holes in either structure. For arm32, size 48, padding 2, saved 8 bytes. For arm64, size 72, padding 6, saved 16 bytes.
