Why is `T.sizeof` 12 instead of 8 when `U.sizeof` is 8 in the following
example?
struct S
{
int i;
bool b;
}
struct T
{
S s;
char c;
}
struct U
{
int i;
bool b;
char c;
}
?
S.sizeof: 4 bytes for the int + 1 byte for the bool + 3 bytes padding so
that the int is aligned = 8 bytes.
T.sizeof: 8 bytes for the S + 1 byte for the char + 3 bytes padding so
that the S is aligned = 12 bytes.
U.sizeof: 4 bytes for the int + 1 byte for the bool + 1 byte for the
char + 2 bytes padding so that the int is aligned = 8 bytes.
