Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: If struct members of different sizes are mixed memory usage on Risc machines will increase due to alignment padding. Put all members of the same type together in the structs. Suggested orderingsIO::ItemStateSimpleValue, ItemID, DateTime, Quality, ClientHandleGroupEntry::DescriptionItemID, ClientHandle, SimpleValueType, active, pathname, access_path
Resolution: see above
