Subject: [9fans] structure allocation.
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 0d6a253e-ead1-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

the open-source drivers for the DAC960 have a number
of structures declared like

typedef struct {
	char f;
	ulong l;
	char g;
	ulong m;
} __attribute__((packed)) Dac960fu;

with comments such as:

/*
 * Command result buffers, as placed in system memory by the controller.
 */

how is this handled in plan 9?
