C Structures

Hello all. I'm attempting to put together a document (which I will
post for comment) describing how to interpret C structures for use in
a SwiftForth program. Windows makes extensive use structures in the
API and these structures are typically documented using C struct
statements. Unless one is "C Literate", it can be difficult to
translate the syntax. C compilers can, depending on compiler
directives, pad variables to byte, word or dword boundaries adding
another layer of complexity (confusion).

Could anyone point me to a resource that details some of the fine
points of C structures and how a C compiler interprets these
structures?
