What does the following statement actually do and what are it’s effects?
#pragma pack(push,8)
It pushes the current
packsetting onto a stack (so that you can restore it later viapop) and then sets the alignment for struct elements to 8 bytes. Anything which is not naturally aligned to an 8 byte boundary will have padding bytes inserted before it to maintain the required alignment.
