C++ structs are not portable, so that sounds difficult. In practice, you 
have compiler-specific ways to enforce some alignement within a 
structure, but that sounds rather nightmarish to support.

Why can't you use a library with a portable file format (e.g. hdf5), or 
something like google protocol buffer/thrift/etc... ? Those are designed 
to solve your problem

cheers,
