Hi Claudio,
For alignment purposes, the compiler may stick in some padding bytes.
If the designers of C wanted to be cruel, they could have forced you to put
in the necessary padding or generate a compile time error.
struct s2
{
char a[6];
char pad[2];
int b;
};
But they figured that was an implementation detail that the compiler could
do for you.
