gcc doesn't seem to have options for altering this behaviour.
gcc 3.4.3:
gcc 3.4.3 and 4.1.1 tested:
char c = 1;
// gcc aligns to 32 bytes if sizeof(struct) >= 32
struct st {
int c_iflag,c_oflag,c_cflag,c_lflag;
int i1,i2,i3; // struct will be aligned to 4 bytes
// int i1,i2,i3,i4; // struct will be aligned to 32 bytes
};
struct st t = { 1 };
struct {
int a,b,c,d;
int i1,i2,i3;
} s28 = { 1 }; // struct will be aligned to 4 bytes
struct {
int a,b,c,d;
int i1,i2,i3,i4;
} s32 = { 1 }; // struct will be aligned to 32 bytes
// same for arrays
char vc31[31] = { 1 }; // unaligned
char vc32[32] = { 1 }; // aligned to 32 bytes
-fpack-struct=1 reduces alignment of s28 to 1 (but probably will break layout
of many libc structs) but s32 and vc32 are still aligned to 32 bytes.
