I think unions will be good addition to NBExternalStruct :)
I have commited an initial version... However I am not sure about the way I compute the type size (wrt alignment). I'm doing this:
sizeAlignedTo: anAlign with: aType
� � �totalSize := (totalSize alignedTo: anAlign ) max: (aType typeSize alignedTo: anAlign)
but I'm not sure if the union size should be aligned, or if that alignement will be done latter one by NB... For the tests I've done it seems to work...�
