On most modern systems, details of how structures are supposed to be aligned
are discussed in the same document that discusses the calling sequence.
On older systems, there is often *no* documentation on this and so the
appropriate thing to do is to follow whatever the specific compiler being
interfaced with does, just like you would do with calling conventions.
I see no difference between the two issues.
