What is the D equivalent to the C __attribute__((packed))
What is the D equivalent to the C __attribute__((packed))
How would you tell the D compiler you want a struct '__attribute__((packed))' ?
Re: What is the D equivalent to the C __attribute__((packed))
Glad to see someone else is interested in D, though I'd advise someone to get really comfortable with the language before starting OSDev with it. 
Anyway, alignment is done using the align() attribute. For an entire struct to have packed alignment, you'd do align(1) struct {...}. More info can be found at the D specification site, specifically here.
Hope this helps!

Very true, regardless of the language.Zenith wrote:I'd advise someone to get really comfortable with the language before starting OSDev with it.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
