Support for Meta-Programming

[hartmut Goebel <hartmut@oberon.noris.de>]

Hey,

some month ago I promissed to build in support for Meta-Programming (aka
module Ref). Some weeks ago I had had a look at the code and encountered a
problem:

Module Ref -- which implements important parts of Meta-Programming -- scans a
structure like this:

var    "a"  0
var    "b"  4
record "r"  8 MyFunnyRecordType

Such a data area (byte stream) exists for every procedure (and module).
Column three denotes the offset into the procedure frame (global vars for
module).

And this offset is the problem: I don't know any way to get this in C. Esp.
since oo2c would not onfly have to know the size (sizeof), but also the
alignment of the variables.

Any suggestions?
