Summary of sizeof calculation in struct

Calculation of sizeof in struct

For example, struct exap

{

Short;

Double B;

Char C;

Double D;

Int E;

} Size;

Sizeof (struct exap) =? 40

TIPS: Method 1:

Short can only exist in multiples of 2

Double can only exist in 8 endorsements.

Char can only exist in multiples of 1

Int can only exist in multiples of 4

On this basis, data must be effectively aligned.

Method 2:

In VC, 8-byte alignment is specified. If the longest variable in struct is <8, it is calculated based on the longest byte alignment. If the longest variable in struct is> = 8, it is calculated in 8-byte alignment;

The optimization is performed in GCC, which requires 4-byte alignment. If the longest variable <4 in struct is calculated as the longest byte alignment, if the longest variable in struct is> = 4, it is calculated in 4-byte alignment;

 

Additionally, you can use # pragma pack () to modify the preceding rules. For example: # pragma pack (1), the above rule is changed to: 1) the offset must be a multiple of 1; 2) the number of bytes allocated to the object must be an integer multiple of 1.
