Re: Optimizing Static Variable Layout

You keep saying this without offering the slightest argument
for your 'conclusion' leading me to believe you are an infant.

Here are my opinions on it, both of which have already
been brought up by others:

PRO:
An option to rearrange variables can be useful in creating
more compact code with less effort on the author.

CON:
The 'bang for the buck' just doesn't seem to be worth the
effort to code such a feature.


Personally, I would rather see something like this instead:

static [4]
	... every item in this section aligned on 4 byte boundary
	...
	...
endstatic;

In HLA, this feature already exists for record structures, even with the
ability to specify min/max alignment.  Very useful to have.
