I'm working on a project where I generate both an FFI::Struct and an LLVM struct from the same description. It's been convenient to create the struct like so:

  klass = Class.new(FFI::Struct)

  klass.layout(...)

This conveniently avoids devising a way to pass data into the scope of the class definition from the enclosing scope, but I'm having a little cognitive dissonance. Should FFI support this usage, or am I abusing the api?

Thanks,

Jeremy
