I think that a correct way deciding whether a struct is correctly packed is to make sure that our generated tests for packing issues work under MSVC, then just compare the results. Otherwise we risk to miss something.
Sure, but until my patch to winapi_test and the regeneration of the tests we weren't testing 8 byte alignments. Now we can, so anyone who has a recent MSVC is invited to build and run the generated tests ;-).
I see that Alexandre has put in a much better patch than mine that makes alignment default to 8 when it comes to 64 bit types, which is what MSVC does.
