Visual C++ equivalent of GCC’s __attribute__ ((__packed__))

by

You can define PACK like as follows for GNU GCC and MSVC:

#ifdef __GNUC__
#define PACK( __Declaration__ ) __Declaration__ __attribute__((__packed__))
#endif

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#define PACK( __Declaration__ ) __pragma( pack(push, 1) ) __Declaration__ __pragma( pack(pop))
#endif

And use it like this:

PACK(struct myStruct
{
    int a;
    int b;
});
