Sorry, what I meant was:
An extra 8 bytes for alignment
AFAIK, the problem is note one of packing, but of aligning the
"Payload" regardless of the where the "ScopedResult" itself is
located on the stack.
If "A" needs to be 16 aligned, but B is in a position of "4 +
16*N", then the payload will need to shift A an extra 12 bytes.
And I don't think there's any way around this.
THAT SAID, I *think* the current implementation is very
conservative. On my machine, B's size is 48 (!).
We could definitely reduce the extra padding.
You should file this as a bug.
