[cffi-devel] OpenAL or Bust

[Rayiner Hashem]

Entertainingly enough, the C and C++ ABIs differ in this regard.

C (even C99) says that sizeof(empty-struct) = 0, alignof(empty-struct) = 1
C++ says that sizeof(empty-struct) = 1, alignof(empty-struct) = 1

I say use the C layout, since Verrazano does its own layout for C++ that 
doesn't 
depend on what CFFI thinks the sizeof a type is.
