AAX_Push8ByteStructAlignment.h File Reference

Go to the source code of this file.

Description

Set the struct alignment to 8-byte.

When setting the alignment for a struct in order to match a particular environment (e.g. host/plug-in binary compatibility) the following macros are recommended:

• AAX_ALIGN_FILE_HOST
• AAX_ALIGN_FILE_ALG
• AAX_ALIGN_FILE_RESET

Usage notes

• Always follow an inclusion of this file with a matching inclusion of AAX_PopStructAlignment.h

• Do not place other file #include after this file. For example:

  *   // HeaderFile1.h
  *       #include DigiPush8ByteStructAlignment.h
  *       #include HeaderFile2.h  // this file now has 8-byte alignment also!!
  *       // HeaderFile1.h definitions...
  *       #include DigiPopStructAlignment.h
  *   // end HeaderFile1.h
  *   

  This will cause problems if HeaderFile2.h is included elsewhere without the 8-byte alignment which will manifest as hard to find run-time bugs. The proper usage is:

  *   // HeaderFile1.h
  *       #include HeaderFile2.h
  *       #include DigiPush8ByteStructAlignment.h
  *           // HeaderFile1.h definitions...
  *       #include DigiPopStructAlignment.h
  *   // end HeaderFile1.h
  *
