I'm assuming that you've considered serializing and deserializing the data
to an unpadded (or defined padding) format, but that you've presumably
discounted it for performance reasons?

Just putting it out there in case someone's facing a similar issue, but has
different constraints.

We once used XDR for this (with some kind of IDL-to-C converter, if I
recall correctly). Some brief googling suggests that XDR is not dead yet.

Cheers,
Roger.
