ECat Struct Padding Controls #70

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently, the structs for ECat comms are kept consistent between the master 
and medullas by ordering the fields from largest to smallest and hoping the 
compilers pad them the same.

We should look into directives (such as the #pragma directives shown on the 
Data Structure Alignment Wikipedia page) that direct the compilers not to add 
padding to the structs.

Instead, we are implementing stuff properly (turns out we weren't doing it 
right), so all this will be fixed with the EtherCAT Master rewrite.

This is out of date. Everything's done properly now.
