Subject: sysinfo padding question
Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:25:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAK4o1WxKAL-Tf+SnO5BS-jVv5D+xXeKF5WW7XcOQTkr0EaGimA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Why is the padding for sysinfo for the kernel different from the libc
one for Musl?
/usr/include/linux/kernel.h has char
_f[20-2*sizeof(long)-sizeof(int)]; /* Padding: libc5 uses this.. */
/usr/include/sys/sysinfo.h has char __reserved[256];
glibc just includes the kernel header from sys/sysinfo.h so both these
structs are the same size there, so not sure I see any rationale.
Justin
