If the record doesn't have a rep spec and size clause, this information is
not defined by the language. Depending on what use you want to make of the
information, that could be a major problem. A new version of the compiler
would be well within its rights to add or remove padding, and to completely
shuffle the order of the fields.
If its important to you that fields be in a certian place with a certian size,
you should use rep specs.
