The problem with the dump of structures

[kruvcraft21]

Hi, After the dump was formed, I decided to work with the structures. In all structures, the field offset does not start from 0x0, but from 0x10 for arm64 and 0x8 for arm

// Arm64
// Assembly-CSharp
struct Str : System.ValueType
{
    System.String field1; // 0x10
    System.Int32 field2; // 0x18
}

// Arm
// Assembly-CSharp
struct Str  : System.ValueType
{
    System.String field1; // 0x8
    System.Int32 field2; // 0xc
}

it should be like this:

// Arm64
// Assembly-CSharp
struct Str : System.ValueType
{
    System.String field1; // 0x0
    System.Int32 field2; // 0x8
}

// Arm
// Assembly-CSharp
struct Str  : System.ValueType
{
    System.String field1; // 0x0
    System.Int32 field2; // 0x4
}

Hi, why would you expect these offsets to start from zero? What are the advantages? il2cpp api returns the "wrong" offsets also.

Moreover, structs can be boxed to objects, so I would have to check if a certain object is a boxed struct before retrieving fields: this is certainly uglier than the adopted solution (= always subtract Il2CppObject size (16, 8) when it's a Il2Cpp.ValueType).

Also, this can't be a "dump only" thing.
