Re: [swift-evolution] [Swift4][Pitch] Control struct layout with @layout, @offset, @order

Hi Russ, Keep in mind you can control layout of structs by defining them in C (using __attribute__((packed)) and so on), and using them as imported types in Swift. As Mark mentioned, we can add this later if we need it, so it’s probably out of scope for now. Slava > On Aug 17, 2016, at 11:28
