Hmm, since you haven't change the logic of how the archive is created, except that you move the allocation of the root array(s) from the end to the beginning of the heap objects, I think it's probably caused by this:


class HeapRootSegments {
private:
  size_t _base_offset;
  size_t _count;
  int _roots_count;
  int _max_size_in_bytes;
  int _max_size_in_elems;
  // uninitialized padding on Windows


Maybe explicitly add an `int _unused` there?
