How to fix this union size/alignment requirement under DMD 2.060
Pergunta
A D2 source code containing the following snippet can be compiled under DMD 2.059
union Prefix {
char[9] data;
align(1) struct { uint fileno; uint lineno; char delim; };
}
static assert(Prefix.sizeof == 9);
and unfortunately fails under DMD 2.060 (Prefix.sizeof becomes equal to 12).
How can it be fixed?
Solução
This seems to do what you want:
align(1) union Prefix
{
ubyte[9] data;
struct
{
uint fileno;
uint lineno;
char delim;
}
}
static assert(Prefix.sizeof == 9);
Outras dicas
Placing the align(1)
before the union
keyword is enough to make the assert pass, because the data inside it is naturally aligned without gaps. Otherwise, you'd need to add align(1):
before the union's / struct's fields.
Probably a bug. Or some obscure logic, because naming a struct returns aligning back.
