--- Comment #5 from Andrew Drake <adrake at adrake.org> ---
This also affects xcb_sync_systemcounter_next, leading to all sorts of
undesirable behavior if you try to actually iterate with it.

Given that there's already assumptions about compiler padding behavior as Josh
notes, would the project accept a patch that makes c_client.py add explicit
packing attributes to protocol structures? I could also add compile-time
asserts to prevent bugs of this form from cropping up again.
