Here is a macro I use for aligning structures on long words..
should work with any decent compiler.
Notice that it wastes 3 octets for each object it allocates on the stack.
#define DCLEVNEVN( T, N ) char blk##N[3+sizeof(T)]; \
T *N = (T *)((((unsigned long)(blk##N+3)/4)*4));
You use it in the declaration part of the block this way:
in place of
struct FileInfoBlock *fib;
do
DCLEVNEVN( struct FileInfoBlock , fib );
Hope it helps.
Phil.
