  34 <PRE>&gt;&gt;<i>      The major problem I have with GCC 3.0 is that it reorders structures
  35 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> (or at least did at one point), which would break convert-db, and in
  36 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> general is a Bad Idea (among other things it prevents you from laying
  37 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> structures on top of data in memory).  Does anyone know if this has been
  38 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> fixed or if there's a way around it?
  39 </I>&gt;<i>
  40 </I>&gt;<i>Are you sure it reordered them? It might just have changed the padding
  41 </I>&gt;<i>between members, which compilers have been known to do in the past.
  42 </I>&gt;<i>Anyhow, I haven't tried convert-db yet but I will when I get the chance
  43 </I>
  44      To be perfectly honest, that's based on hearsay--I haven't confirmed
  45 it one way or the other.  But I do recall quite a lot of discussion on that
  46 point, so I'd like to have confirmation that it does work before
  47 &quot;officially&quot; endorsing it.
