Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
The struct module is correct.
You see here the result of "alignment": the address of a long is always
a multiple of the size of a long.
The struct module mimics the C compiler: a "struct { short x; long y;
}", will actually occupy 8 bytes in memory (on a 32bit processor).
There are two padding bytes, that are not used.
