Description Christian Persch 2008-01-29 18:30:50 UTC 
Like all the other gcc attributes, G_GNUC_PACKED for __attribute__((packed)).

http://www.ohse.de/uwe/articles/gcc-attributes.html#type-packed says the attribute exists since gcc 2.7.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2009-05-26 05:03:01 UTC 
Do you have any concrete uses for this macro ? I don't think we want to add wrappers for random gcc attributes unless there is a concrete use case.
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2009-05-26 09:10:02 UTC 
I filed this bug when I had need of the packed attribute in bug 512799 for gnome-games.
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2009-05-26 09:27:36 UTC 
A quick grep over my gnome checkout finds the packed attribute also used in NetworkManager and Rhythmbox.

Any chance to get this in for 2.24 ?
