What message would this be? Are you advocating a different use of #pragma pack()?
David started this discussion and his statement was:
The __packed attribute is an abstraction of the actual syntax the compiler uses, if it is supported at all.
Therefore, you can't just unconditionally use the #pragma, and you would need to use some kind of similar compiler abstraction for it.
So yes, it sounds to me like "don't use #pragma but think about some abstraction".
Kind regards, Sven
