StructScope
Visual Struct Layout Analysis for Systems Engineers
Struct Scope is a local first VS Code extension and CLI for analyzing struct memory layouts in C, C++, and Rust. It visualizes field alignment, padding, cache line splits, ABI differences, and layout inefficiencies directly from source code without invoking a compiler and provides suggested alternates. Built for systems, embedded, and performance focused development, it helps developers inspect low level memory behavior early to catch layout problems before they become costly debugging sessions.
Struct Scope analyzes and visualizes struct memory layouts for C, C++, and Rust directly from source code. The extension and CLI compute ABI aware field placement, alignment, padding, cache line boundaries, and layout efficiency across multiple target platforms without invoking a compiler.
The current implementation supports LP64, LLP64, embedded, ARM, and RISC V style targets with both editor based and terminal workflows. Analysis includes byte level layout maps, field offset tables, cache split detection, layout metrics, and rule based optimization guidance for reducing padding and improving memory locality.
The project intentionally stays local first and deterministic. It does not rewrite source code, depend on external services, or generate speculative fixes. Unsupported layouts such as compiler dependent bit fields are surfaced explicitly instead of approximated silently.
The VS Code integration includes diagnostics, analyze on save workflows, dashboard visualization, platform switching, and CLI driven reporting for CI or scripting use cases. The goal is to make low level layout behavior easier to inspect during systems programming, embedded development, protocol design, performance engineering, and binary compatibility work.

Who hunted StructScope?
StructScope was hunted by Brahadeesh. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
