I understand the structure's concept in C. I also understand how the structure is stored in memory. So I have created follwoing stuff:
struct tag1 {
char a;
int b;
}var1;
The size of the structure is 8 bytes(in gcc).
Memory layout example.
-----------
| | | | | ---> char a (only 1 byte is used and remaining 3 bytes are padding)
-----------
| | | | | ---> int b (4 byte is used)
-----------
Now i have some doubt in this sample program. How the nested structure is stored in memory.
struct tag1{
int a;
struct tag2{
long b;
}var1;
}var2;
