Packing fun.

// both gcc 3.0 and VS.NET support the pack pragma
#pragma pack(4)

struct Alice
{
	int Integer1;
	char Char1;
};

struct Bob : Alice
{
	char Char2;
};

gcc 3.0 
sizeof(Alice)==sizeof(Bob)==8 and funnier enough, STRUCT_OFFSET(Char2) <
sizeof(Alice)

VS.NET 2003
sizeof(Alice)==8, sizeof(Bob)==12

Is anyone aware of in-detail documentation on variable packing for both gcc
and VS.NET?

Thanks,
