Most compilers when you declare a struct will insert padding between members to ensure that they are aligned to appropriate.. like this Bytes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Member one padding two three padding and sizeof Test would be 12 even though it.. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Member one padding two three padding and sizeof Test would be 12 even though it only contains 6 bytes..
