"struct" definitions now support the [[pad_to(N)]] attribute.
This attribute, when used, must be declared after a member variable.
Each member variable can have one of these attributes after it.
The attribute is useful to pad the data with dummy variables until
guaranteeing that the offset of the next variable starts with the
desired alignment. The 'N' argument is a single integral literal
that must be a multiple of 4.
A companion class to the IntermediateRepresentation has been added:
StructPadToMutator. It contains all the logic and algorithms to
collect, during parsing, the variables that require padding
and apply the appropriate mutations (variable insertions) during
the IntermediateRepresentation::MiddleEnd().
Add [[pad_to(N)]] language feature
This is version 1.7.34
