Laurent said

"Are you sure ? I think that for instance, arrays are always marshalled
into a stream array rounded up to 4 bytes. For instance, a 13 bytes
array is mapped onto a 16 bytes stream array. Therefore, you need to
modify the compiler."

this is wrong, a 13 byte array causes the bytes of the array to be written
out as individual stream elements, and the resulting stream will be 13
bytes long. I really don't know what Laurent has in mind, but probably
something significant, since he knows this code pretty well! But right
now I don't see it. The unit s-stratt among other things dicates the
length in bytes used to represent each individual primitive data type.
