Thanks to reflection, you can determine the layout of types. My examples are based on the reflection proposal P2996R5. Class Layout The following program determines the class layout of a few members. // classLayout.cpp #include <experimental/meta> #include <iostream> #include <utility> #include <vector> #include <array> struct member_descriptor { std::size_t offset; std::size_t size; bool operator==(member_descriptor const&) const […]
