In this case, it doesn't, as the struct I'm emulating is:
typedef struct {
Uint8 type; /* SDL_KEYDOWN or SDL_KEYUP */
Uint8 which; /* The keyboard device index */
Uint8 state; /* SDL_PRESSED or SDL_RELEASED */
SDL_keysym keysym;
} SDL_KeyboardEvent;
SDL_keysym itself is a struct:
typedef struct {
Uint8 scancode; /* hardware specific */
SDLKey sym; /* SDL virtual keysym */
SDLMod mod; /* current key modifiers */
Uint16 unicode; /* translated character */
} SDL_keysym;
SDLKey and SDLMod are both enums.
As I understand it (and correct me if I'm wrong), SDL_keysym needs a
byte of padding on my architecture within SDL_KeyboardEvent. I can add
that padding manually, but I'm not convinced that'll be portable to
different architectures.
That's the kind of padding I'd like unmanagedstruct.pmc to be able to do
for me.

I'm happy to submit this as a TODO if I have the story straight.
