It is require when structures are passed between machine with different "int" or "char" sizes. Or to machines with fixed memory alignment.
if a structure is sent from a '51 to a PC as a binary block see what happens. in the 51 char = 1 byte on the PC it is 2 or 4 bytes. so the '51 has to pad its struct so the PC will receive it in the expected format. Note that this is not the only way to solve the problem. |
