Struct Packing

["John R. Sheets" <dusk@ravendusk.org>]

Hey, does anyone know how to turn off struct-padding in gcc?  By
default, it aligns struct fields at 4-byte intervals, but I'm trying to
read a binary file directly into a struct with 1-byte packing (i.e. with
no padding).

I've tried -fpack-struct and "#pragma align 1", to no avail (although it
seems like I might have gotten it to work once, somehow, but I don't
know how).  Any other options?  As I understand, -fpack-struct _should_
be doing the job.  Can't figure out why not.

$ gcc -v

Thanks,
