/*
 * Abstract:
 *  Turns on byte packing, which is necessary for passing information from
 *	system to system over a network to ensure no padding by the compiler has
 *	taken place.

/****h* Component Library/Structure Packing
* NAME
*	Structure Packing
*
* DESCRIPTION
*	The structure packing header files allow packing structures on byte
*	boundaries.
*
*	Structure packing should be used whenever a structure is transmitted
*	between systems, as different platforms pad structures differently if
*	they are not packed.  Packing a structure that is not transmitted between
*	systems can be detrimental to performance, as fields in the structure may
*	not align properly for some platforms. Care must be taken when creating
*	packed structures that the alignment rules for all platforms are followed.
*
*	To pack a structure, include ipackon.h before defining the structure, and
*	include ipackoff.h after the structure definition.  Multiple structures
*	can be packed between the two include statements if desired.
*
*	The structure definition itself must use the PACK_SUFFIX keyword.
*
* EXAMPLE
*	#include <complib/ipackon.h>
*
*	typedef _my_struct_t
*	{
*	    uint64 large;
*	    uint32 medium;
*	    uint16 small;
*
*	} PACK_SUFFIX my_struct_t;
*	#include <complib/ipackoff.h>
