The usual story:
$ diff -u <(pahole build/systemd-sysusers.0) <(pahole build/systemd-sysusers)
/* size: 80, cachelines: 2, members: 15 */
- /* sum members: 68, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
- /* sum bitfield members: 5 bits (0 bytes) */
- /* padding: 7 */
- /* bit_padding: 3 bits */
+ /* sum members: 73, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
+ /* padding: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
Effectively, because of padding, we were not saving anything. We're not putting
struct Item in arrays, but when allocating on the heap, we're going to round up to
normal alignment too.
The code becomes shorter (and quicker):
$ size build/systemd-sysusers{,.0}
text data bss dec hex filename
79967 2040 264 82271 1415f build/systemd-sysusers.0
79726 2040 264 82030 1406e build/systemd-sysusers
(In case you're wondering, I wrote this long commit message for a very simple
change on purpose: I want to deflate the bitfield cargo cult a bit.)
