I would argue that this is a bug and should probably be fixed in a future C/C++ standard that allows declaring misaligned types. Something like "members of a packed struct have [[aligned(1)]] attribute and cannot be converted to a pointer type with different alignment except with a reinterpret_cast", so you'd have to do uint32_t [[aligned(1)]]*intValues = myPackedStruct.intValues; Would be nice if we also got e.g. float/intNua_t for unaligned types. Any code that gets broken by this change was broken to begin with.
