Why does struct alignment depend on whether a field type is primitive or user-defined?

Question

In Noda Time v2, we\'re moving to nanosecond resolution. That means we can no longer use an 8-byte integer to represent the whole range of time we\'re interested in. That ha

Answer 1

Just to add some data to the mix - I created one more type from the ones you had:

struct RefAndTwoInt32Wrappers2
{
    string text;
    TwoInt32Wrappers z;
}

The program writes out:

RefAndTwoInt32Wrappers2: 16

So it looks like the TwoInt32Wrappers struct aligns properly in the new RefAndTwoInt32Wrappers2 struct.
