C++ 类或结构与 C 结构的兼容性

Is it possible to write a C++ class or struct that is fully compatible with C struct. From compatibility I mean size of the object and memory locations of the variables. I know that its evil to use *(point*)&pnt or even (float*)&pnt (on a different case where variables are floats) but consider that its really required for the performance sake. Its not logical to use regular type casting operator million times per second.

举个例子

Class Point {
    long x,y;
    Point(long x, long y) {
        this->x=x;
        this->y=y;
    }

    float Distance(Point &point) {
        return ....;
    }
};

C 版本是一个 POD 结构

struct point {
    long x,y;
};
