Packed pragma Packed pragma
------------- -------------
The `packed`:idx: pragma can be applied to any ``object`` type. It ensures that the fields of an object is packed back-to-back in memory. It is useful to store packets or messages from/to network or hardware drivers, and for interoperability with C. Combining packed pragma with inheritance is not defined, and it should not be used with GC'ed memory (ref's). The `packed`:idx: pragma can be applied to any ``object`` type. It ensures

**Future directions**: Using GC'ed memory in packed pragma will result in compile-time error. Usage with inheretinence should be defined and documented. **Future directions**: Using GC'ed memory in packed pragma will result in
