title: Visual C++ equivalent of GCC's __attribute__ ((__packed__))
body: <p>For some compilers, there is a packing specifier for structs, for example ::</p>
  
  <pre>
  RealView ARM compiler has "__packed"
  Gnu C Compiler has "__attribute__ ((__packed__))"
  Visual C++ has no equivalent, it only has the "#pragma pack(1)"
  </pre>
  
  <p>I need something that I can put into the <strong>struct</strong> definition.</p>
  
  <p>Any info/hack/suggestion ? TIA...</p>
