Re: python types, ino_t and off_t

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
ino_t ino;
off_t off;

printf("Size of ino: %ld bytes\n",sizeof(ino));
printf("Size of off: %ld bytes\n",sizeof(off));

return 0;
}

Both are 64 bits.
But still cant figure out why the struct seems to be out of alignment.

Cheers.
Elias.
