Because the type u8 doesn't require any alignment requirements, it can
nestle right up there cozy with the u16:

zx2c4@thinkpad ~ $ cat a.c
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
int main()
{
       struct {
               uint64_t a;
               uint32_t b;
               uint32_t c;
               uint16_t d;
               char x[];
       } a;
       printf("%zu\n", sizeof(a));
       printf("%zu\n", offsetof(typeof(a), x));
       return 0;
}
zx2c4@thinkpad ~ $ gcc a.c
zx2c4@thinkpad ~ $ ./a.out
24
