However, if all alignments and sizes are always multiply of some size e.g. 4 B or <code>sizeof(MyDataStruct)</code>, you can express all sizes, alignments, and offsets in multiples of that size instead of individual bytes. It might be more convenient, but you need to make sure to use this new unit consistently in all the places:</p>
