ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED16(class) btQuadWordStorage can cause issues when embedded in an unaligned object #147

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 

We need to track all issues related to the alignment of a btQuadWordStorage 
(base class for btVector3, btQuaternion etc).

If the introduction of ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED16 causes too many issues, we have 
to remove it.

btVector cannot be used in a std::vector when using MSVC STL, due to some bugs.

Either use btAlignedObjectArray, or STL port, or manually hack MSVC STL.

Also, a btVector3 cannot be passed by value in some compilers, due to alignment 
issues.

For both cases a workaround is available.
