           Summary: compiler padding causes reply parsing to use incorrect
                    offsets
           Product: XCB
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Library
        AssignedTo: xcb at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: m.aaron.young at gmail.com
         QAContact: xcb at lists.freedesktop.org


This is known to affect xcb_sync_systemcounter_t, which should have a size of
14 but due to padding has a size of 16.  This causes
xcb_sync_systemcounter_name to miss the first two bytes of the name, and each
call to xcb_sync_systemcounter_next gets off by two bytes as well.

It's possible that other structures are also affected by this same issue.
