Unless it explicitly matters to your hardware, you should assume that mbuf clusters are aligned to suit the architecture you're running on. If it *does* matter to your hardware, I would be inclined to suggest that you code to handle all situations, and optimise for the case where the alignment best suits you. This will greatly improve the portability of your code. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
