throws an error

According to SO if I change the Struct Member Alignment from 4 Byte

to Default.

Then the project builds successfully and the DynamicArray.dll is produced.

However, this would produce unintended behavior with Zorro since Lite-C has 4 byte struct alignment requirements. From the might manual.

If your broker DLL accesses Zorro-specific structs, set struct alignment to 4, or use the #pragma pack(4) statement. Otherwise structs can have different sizes in lite-C and in VC++.

So how we fix this issue?
