Compilers have their own logic. They may want specific alignment for the
stack variable, or some other things in "mind". I've seen even more
intrigueing things, like when you request 3 bytes array, on the stack
will be 24 bytes, but if you request 8 bytes array, you get exactly 8
bytes on the stack. Go figure.

After all it's not assembler, but C that you use. So if such things
bother you, then switch to assembler :)
