many many thanks for your help!
and fast responses :-)
this explain my oberservations

why only the first 2 bytes are padded?
0xAABBCCDD (4 bytes = real32) to 0x0000AABBCCDD (6 bytes)
and not to 0x0000AABB0000CCDD (8 bytes)

it has something to do with the behavior of the  C compiler’s sizeof expression? and why?

since I need pack / unpack often in my projects, i want to have it completely clarified.
