Comment (by dkrupp):

 I did not reproduce the problem in run-time. Inspecting the code a bit
 more in detail I see that in AC3EncodeContext there are only pointers to
 the changing types: SampleType,CoefType and thus the size of and memory
 layout of the struct remains the same in the 2 TUs. So I do not expect
 run-time error in the current form of the struct.

 Still, this violates the one definition rule of C/C++ which may not cause
 run-time error in this very specific case.
