The problem is not the union. However uint8_t and uint32_t might not be there (unlike e.g. uint_least8_t or uint_least32_t, which are required). E.g. when an architecture has no 8-bit data type, this could happen: sizeof(unsiged char) == sizeof(uint_least8_t) == sizeof(unsigned int) == sizeof(uint16_t) == 1 Philipp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
