FPC 3.2.2 - Align for AnsiString

[paule32]

is it possible to align the refernce counter of AnsiStrings ?
I realized some big gaps that are results of QWORD in the Assembly.

is there a switch or option to inject smaller ?

For my problem question I have add a Image of the binary of a test Application.
Take a look to the Arrows and the black box around.

Thanks for feedback.

I see a lot of words that usually apply to your code......

Anyway, jokes aside, try to find out all the alignment options that the compiler has....
When in need I will give you an answer....

Strange. FPC 3.2. seems to declare ANSIREC as 32-bit, only FPC 3.3.1 pads them to 64-bit:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Type
2.   PAnsiRec = ^TAnsiRec;
3.   TAnsiRec = Record
4.     CodePage    : TSystemCodePage;
5.     ElementSize : Word;
6. {$if not defined(VER3_2)}
7.   {$ifdef CPU64}       
8.     Ref         : Longint;
9.   {$else}
10.     Ref         : SizeInt;
11.   {$endif}
12. {$else}
13.   {$ifdef CPU64}       
14.     { align fields  }
15.         Dummy       : DWord;
16.   {$endif CPU64}
17.     Ref         : SizeInt;
18. {$endif}
19.     Len         : SizeInt;
20.   end;
21.
