Re: [Wireshark-commits] master 1119eb6: generate ALIGN_TO_x_BYTES instructions if the element has the align_x flag

This and the subsequent commit (61676733b451bc8b3a83dee47df71c5ffe3f19dd) that regenerated all of the DCE/RPC 
dissectors doesn't pass the "eye test" to me.  The newly generated code now has a lot of what appear to be 
"duplicative" calls to ALIGN_TO_x_BYTES.  The second call is effectively a "no-op" because the bytes have already been 
"aligned", but does waste a small amount of processing power.  Looks like some additional logic in NDR.pm may be 
necessary to prevent the duplication.

Am I just missing something here?
