interesting struct???????????

[Ashok Das]

hi,
Sorry wheather it is the right place or not..
i found something interesting..

gcc-2.95(RH 6.2) shows this...

struct x{
         int a;
          char b;
         };
  sizeof(struct x) gives 8 why??

but struct x{
             int a;
              char b;
              char c;
              char d;
              char e;
             }
gives a size of 8 too???????????/

how????

Ashok
