[lwip-devel] [patch #5846] struct sockaddr_in has different alignment than struct sockaddr

[Kieran Mansley]

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #5846 (project lwip):

Is the problem the layout of the fields within the structure, or how an
instance of the structure itself is aligned?

In general I prefer to rely on the compiler to sort out things like this (by
e.g. using the "packed" directive to gcc).

Given that these types should be similar to those used on BSD, Linux, etc,
how are they defined there to avoid the same problem?  Could we do something
similar?
