Not true. Maybe for the other platforms we support today but a large number of compilers have used 2 or 4 byte alignment for all object starts, especially little endian word addressed systems. I suspect ucLinux as it hits bigger DSP oriented devices will find more examples. Russell is right on this one. If you want an object to be aligned as you lay it out use attribute packed either on the struct or the relevant fields.
