Things to complete. Keeping track in GH for historical use.

Config

• respect .gitignore
• CLI modes
• overrides using JSON passed as arg
• overrides using JSON config file
• operate on files rather than default recursive behavior (wildcards, etc.)
• exclude files in recursive behavior (wildcards, etc.)
• starting directory

Implementation

• recursively read files
• if file type unsupported, skip
• parse structs in multiple languages (start with Rust)
• map the parsed primitive data types to the lazyLock mapping of their alignment and sizes
• suggest struct field reordering to prevent padding / improve alignment
• execute ^
• git diff the suggestion

Future

• advanced memory layout suggestions + optimizations: indexes instead of pointers, store booleans out-of-band, eliminate padding via struct-of-arrays, store sparse data in hash maps, use 'encodings' rather than OOP/polymorphism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IroPQ150F6c&ab_channel=ChimiChanga
