I understand your quandary.
For me "Win32" == "32 bits" == "4 bytes" == "sizeof(ubiquitous machine
register)".
So why on earth, since Visual Studio 2001 (and before?), was the
default alignment set to 8 bytes for the M$ C/C++ compiler code
generation option? This I just do not understand (so, of course,
enlightenment is welcome).

If I recall correctly, doubles require 8-byte alignment. So you object
therefore must require 8-byte alignment.
Instances of my Foo class require 17 bytes so therefore all objects
require 17 byte alignment. But for my Bar class it's 42.
