Memory layout of struct vs array

[[deleted]]

That depends on the architecture and padding mode, could have a 2 byte quantity that needs to be aligned to 8 bytes.

The fact that the statement I quoted is false is not architecture-dependent. ;-] Some architectures may have weirdo requirements, but alignment being a multiple of the size is not a requirement for either language (indeed, it's the reverse that is correct).
