It should happen in all scenarios, I think. because offset will give us
the current elements position in the list of a structure and sizeof will
give us the total size of the data items in the structure.
sizeof(struct sample) should always be equal to 'offsetof(struct sample,
last) + sizeof(char)', since last's data type is 'char'.
