2.2.6.17. Structured Types Alignment (packed
modifier)
By default, the data in a structured type is aligned on double-word
boundaries for faster access. However it's possible to include the
reserved word packed to enable data compression.
For example,
type
TEmployee: = packed record
name: String[80];
appointment_id: Word;
stage: Byte;
end;
Starting from TMT Pascal 4, the
setting defined by the {$OA}
directive can be overridden by specifying the packed reserved word.
