The correct type layout is already encoded in debuginfo, so I'm not sure how that's a problem unless you're avoiding a debugger intentionally or simply can't use one?

Do we generate debuginfo by default at -O? If so, then TIL. :)

Not by default, no, but what I mean that if you're debugging you can just enable debuginfo and that will contain the descriptions of the types including all fields, with the right offsets and everything.
