Calling all C Gurus!!
Consider this C code:
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
typedef struct {
char name[256];
char type[1];
int size;
}resp;
char n[256];
char t[1];
printf("sizeof resp is %d\n",sizeof(resp));
printf("sizeof int is %d\n",sizeof(int));
printf("Total: %d\n", sizeof(int)+sizeof(n)+sizeof(t));
}
Can anyone explain why the sizeof the struct is 264 bytes, yet adding up all of its components yields 261 bytes?
Call me confused...
TIA...
Steve
