Thanks for the contribution. We mention this implementation-specific behavior in a very oblique way in Padding and alignment of structure members, and in the Bitfields section of x64 software conventions (though the compiler behavior isn't x64-specific). Those pages aren't necessarily where people would go to find this out, so this seems a good place to add that info. I've modified your content to follow our voice and internationalization guidelines.

Ah, I missed that. Thank you, cross-referencing it does seem appropriate. |
This PR documents existing behavior in the MSVC toolset.
