Alignment

[arco]

How do I force the compiler to create all arrays word-aligned?
It now sometimes creates char arrays on odd boundaries which is very cumbersome for access with pointers.
(giving an address trap error). If (d)word-aligned I can use:

Code: Select all

  dwPtr = @SD_Data[454]      BootRecordSector = dwPtr^      

With unaligned arrays I need to copy byte-by-byte:

Code: Select all

  Lo(BootRecordSector)      = SD_Data[454]         
  Hi(BootRecordSector)      = SD_Data[455]         
  Higher(BootRecordSector)  = SD_Data[456]         
  Highest(BootRecordSector) = SD_Data[457]
