[Numpy-discussion] record descriptors: trailing unused bytes

Hi list, does anybody know, if in C in the PyArray_Descr struct it is safe to manually change descr->elsize and descr->alignment as long as these are compatible and descr->elsize is large enough to hold all fields? Of course I mean before any array is constructed using descr. Thanks, Martin.
