From 12e130b04580532aa099893158aa2776b321ae7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:05:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MODSIGN: Don't use enum-type bitfields in module signature info block Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be certain how the compiler will handle them. As I understand it, it is arch dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four bytes. Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right order without padding.
