(6.5.2.1)The padding and alignment of members of structures.
Table B-5 Padding and Alignment of Structure Members
Structure members are padded internally, so that every element is aligned on the appropriate boundary.
Alignment of structures is the same as its more strictly aligned member. For example, a struct with only chars has no alignment restrictions, whereas a struct containing a double would be aligned on an 8-byte boundary.
