The padded count is hard to know since CPU and compiler vary.
I would greatly prefer (and expect exists) a solution where I can use ordinary pointer math to iterate over an array, rather than...
The code is portable. The platform will vary, e.g. the compiler in particular. Structure alignment is compiler dependent. Hard coding padding is awkward enough when word lengths vary, but when the...
Gents,
I am using atomic instructions on x64 and variables so used must be 16 byte aligned.
I use a number of structures where their members are so operated upon.
The structures accordingly...
