I'm travelling at the moment and can't easily check it, but I would
expect that my patch has no effect on the generated object code at
all. If the compiler output is different with and without my patch,
it's probably wrong. I double-checked the structure layout in
https://godbolt.org, this did not produce any changes, as size,
alignement and offsets of the members are all the same.
