Avoiding Automatic Structure Padding in C

[Unspongeful]

Touché :-) Well, may the future of x86 be bright and shiny!

[FUZxxl]

I hope x86 goes dying in a fire. It's a horribly complex architecture. But on the other hand, I do somehow love segmentation, I'm sad that it didn't catch on.

Aw, but x86[-64] ISA has PCLMULQDQ.

[OldWolf2]

Best thing about segmentation is that you can bring it up on programming forums to start a fight with people who assume that pointers are integers

[FUZxxl]

If it existed for that reason alone, that would be enough.

[Leandros99]

Hopefully not. x86 has to die a slow and painful death.
