// Guarantee packed on all platforms
align() struct ABC
{
    byte a;
    int b; // may be improperly aligned on some platforms
    int64 c; // same issue
};

// Guarantee 64-bit alignment on a, b, and c on all platforms
align(8) struct ABC
{
    byte a;
    int b; // may be improperly aligned on some platforms
    int64 c; // same issue
};
