>Description:
in file sys/netinet/ip.h v 1.26
l. 196, one can see that the structure is "__packed;"
Usually, a structure is packed like that "__attribute__((__packed__));" (look at l. 159 for example)
Should'nt l.196 have the same writing ? (Incidentally, my compiler don't like bare "__packed" keyword)
>How-To-Repeat:
look at the source
>Fix:
change line 196 to "} __attribute__((__packed__));"
