It would be good if there was a way to force alignment in specific structures, eg to align to a 4 byte boundary, also to align the overall size to a specific size or boundary too, etc

It would have to be recursive - so if you had something like a points structure (2 words, x,y) within your structure, then that too would be aligned for the x and the y.

Would indeed be very useful.
16 bytes aligned would also be nice.

Looking at the gesture problem, it seems the recursive idea isn't a good one as MS don't seem to do this in theirs - which I think is pretty odd btw. ;p

Thanks Josh, I did a search before I posted ('structure align') but didn't find anything.

Good idea.
It would be great if you added the ability to align the structures.

totally agree,

its everytime a mess when porting header files from C based libraries to PB beeing forced to add padding manually.
