If I'm understanding correctly, the way this currently works is that you do
normal field layout, then if you discover that the actual offset of a field is
less than the offset normal field layout would produce, you assume the struct
is packed. This misses cases where a struct is packed, but the packing doesn't
affect the offset of any of the fields. But as you note, this can't be fixed
without adjusting the overall architecture.
There's an issue with the current implementation: it skips fields which
actually are packed, I think. Consider the following:
```
struct Empty {};
struct __attribute((packed)) S {
[[no_unique_address]] Empty a,b,c,d;
char x;
int y;
};
S s;
```
In this case, the field "y" is both overlapping, and at a packed offset.
Really, you don't want to check for overlap; you want to ignore empty fields.
(Non-empty fields can't overlap.)
