[Alex Brachet via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

================
Comment at: llvm/include/llvm/Object/XCOFFObjectFile.h:162-167
+struct XCOFFSectAuxEntForDwarf {
+  support::ubig32_t SectionLength;
+  uint8_t Pad1[4];
+  support::ubig32_t NumberOfRelocEnt;
+  uint8_t Pad2[6];
+};
----------------
How do these and the other structs work? They have seemingly random padding that align these on non normal boundaries. Assuming this is the file format, why is there no need for `#pragma pack` or `aligans`? If we take just this type as an example 18 bytes worth of members, wont this be aligned by the compiler to 24 bytes?
