Specifies the value, in bytes, to be used for packing. The default value for n is 8. Valid values are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. The alignment of a member will be on a boundary that is either a multiple of n or a multiple of the size of the member, whichever is smaller.

I imagine it would be kind to pack the whole struct in a #pragma pack(1) fashion for message-passing, yet rendering it useless for run-time usage due to alignment fault that could arise
