I don't think there's a feature you can toggle for this (except,
maybe, making the alignment of every basic type 2 bytes; but that
would obviously affect arrays and even normal variables too). So you
probably have to modify lib/AST/RecordLayoutBuilder.cpp directly.

Might be worth asking this on the cfe-dev mailing list though. That's
where most of the Clang experts live.

Cheers.

Tim.
