Hmm... I am not quite sure how c2hs works then. like, how can it figure
out the offsets of fields in data structures without knowing the field
layout algorithm for a given architecture/os combo without invoking a c
compiler?
Though, if there were a way to figure that stuff out without a c
compiler in a portable way, that would be cool.
