# FFI::StructGenerator

Generates an FFI Struct layout.

Given the @@@ portion in:

    module Zlib::ZStream < FFI::Struct
      @@@
      name "struct z_stream_s"
      include "zlib.h"

      field :next_in,   :pointer
      field :avail_in,  :uint
      field :total_in,  :ulong

      # ...
      @@@
    end

StructGenerator will create the layout:

    layout :next_in, :pointer, 0,
           :avail_in, :uint, 4,
           :total_in, :ulong, 8,
           # ...

StructGenerator does its best to pad the layout it produces to preserve line numbers. Place the struct definition as close to the top of the file for best results.
