I have a question concerning how Java deals with byte-aligned data.
If allocate an array of 1000 of the following object...
public class MidiMessage {
public byte status;
public byte data1;
public byte data2;
}
...will I be allocating 3000, 4000, or (God forbid) 12000 bytes of machine
memory? Am I better off packing the bytes myself into an int? Any guidance
would be appreciated. Thanks!
