It's applying a packed attribute to the union, which I presume means that it's then applying the packed attribute to any item in the union. The items are all either: __s32, __s64, values - or pointers. While applying this attribute here may fix the compiler warning, I'm not sure it's clear why this is required. This file also has other locations where a union inside a packed struct is not marked as packed. Should all unions be marked with the attribute? Is there any more context from the compiler warning beyond what is reported above? -- Kieran > } __attribute__ ((packed)); > > struct v4l2_ext_controls { > -- > 2.25.1 > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
