I am creating a `struct` which is intended to be passed to C library function using `ccall`.  
The C definition uses an alignment attribute.  
I can use the `@calign` macro from the [CBinding](https://github.com/analytech-solutions/CBinding.jl) package, but this involves some unwanted complications.  
Is there a way to specify the alignment without this package?
