data structure alignment
I am reading this and got curious!
Data structure alignment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
do you think if the struct has +1 variable, the struct will ALWAYS allocate 2 more bytes + of course bytes of other data types that the structure contains???
It depends on your structure. The padding can be zero and upwards.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

ok if i have this structure
means 3 bytes will be allocated? right...Code:struct person{ char name[9]; };
You could just do sizeof(struct person) and find out for yourself how many bytes it needs.
And no, 3 isn't the answer.

sorry I meant 12
