16  * @ATTRS: Any struct attributes (usually empty)
17  * @MEMBERS: The member declarations for the mirrored structs
18  *
19  * Used to create an anonymous union of two structs with identical layout
20  * and size: one anonymous and one named. The former's members can be used
21  * normally without sub-struct naming, and the latter can be used to
22  * reason about the start, end, and size of the group of struct members.
23  * The named struct can also be explicitly tagged for layer reuse, as well
24  * as both having struct attributes appended.
