One way to perform this would:
- the BFLDID should consist of two integers.
- in header before ending BFLDID we shall have "long" field to pull in 64bit alignment.
- All fields in UBF, shall be in size of modulus 8
- The long fields and double fields will have BFLDID, integer (for 32bit adding to address) and the long/float by it self.
All this above will ensure 8 byte alignment.

Another option BFLDID use as 64bit long. And align all fields to 8.
For user api keep origianl BFLDID as 32bit, but internally cast it to 64bit...
So this will ensure all alignment to 8 bytes.
