 Be careful when you use unsigned and signed integers. When using unsigned integers the compiler may create additional instructions depending on the situation since it must support integer wrapping.
 
-## Structs
-
-Make sure structs don't have too much overhead due to alignment padding. Re-ordering struct members can fix a lot of padding overhead.

-```c++
-// sizeof == 12
-struct Bad {
-  bool a;
-  int b;
-  bool c;
