There is no guarantee that fields are contiguous in the buffer - according to Jon Paris.


Vwrn, what I think Jon would have been referring to is that the -standalone fields- related to a file are not necessarily contiguous in storage. In the past, people have tried to define a based array with the basing pointer set to the address of the first field, but without putting the fields into a data structure.

But if the fields are defined in an externally-described data structure, the -subfields- are contiguous in the data structure.
