Byte align base address of class - CW6.4 on 5282

CW6.4 on 5282

I have byte - aligned a class and placed it (nearly) at my desired memory location; however, I need it to start at a byte address, and it always increments to the next 2-byte address. How do I get "Instance" the be a 0x7000000f ?  My .lcf, .cpp, and .xMAP file entries are below. Thank you.

MEMORY {
    TEXT (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x00000500, LENGTH = 0    # using External DRAM
    DATA   (RW) : ORIGIN = AFTER(TEXT), LENGTH = 0
    myIOSpace (RW) : ORIGIN = 0x7000000f
}
SECTIONS {
...
    .mySection :
    {
      *(.Space1)
    } > myIOSpace
...

---------------------------------------------------------
class myClass
{
public:
  unsigned char yyy;
  unsigned char zzz;
  myClass(void)
  {
    yyy = 3;
    zzz = 4;
  }
};
---------------------------------------------------------
#pragma define_section mySpace ".Space1" far_absolute
__declspec(mySpace) myClass Instance;

int main()
{
  while(1);
}
---------------------------------------------------------
# .mySection
  70000010 00000002 .Space1 Instance    (main.c)

This can be done via the lcf file with the ALIGNALL(1); directive which overrides the more "natural" alignment. The ALIGNALL directive forces minimum alignment for all objects in the current segment to the specified value.

Please consult the CodeWarrior for ColdFire V6.4 install folder\Help\PDF\ColdFire_Build_Tools_Reference.pdf manuals for more details.

Hello,

Use the following pragma:

 #pragma options align=packed

I Hope this helps..
