struct abc{
char a;
char b;
char c;
};
what is sizeof (struct abc) in gcc ?
it is giving 3, why not 4 bytes.
Why are you expecting it to be 4 bytes? 3 characters, 1 byte each , total 3 bytes.
He's expecting the compiler it to align all instances of this structure to 4-byte boundaries via padding. I'm not entirely sure if this should actually change the value returned by sizeof().
