Right, but the same is true for Ada. If you are overriding the defaults
in a structure layout, you do so the same way for C and Ada and need not
bother with Convention, which basically tells the compiler what to do
*by default*.

But when you explicitly specify a layout on either side, you are no
longer taking about the Ada/C interface.
