[Numpy-discussion] Using np.frombuffer and cffi.buffer on array of C structs (problem with struct member padding)

[Allan Haldane]

There is a new section discussing alignment in the numpy 1.14 structured
array docs, which has some hints about interfacing with C structs.

These new 1.14 docs are not online yet on scipy.org, but in the meantime
 you can view them here:
https://ahaldane.github.io/user/basics.rec.html#automatic-byte-offsets-and-alignment

(That links specifically to the discussion of alignments and padding).
