Re: structure address = structure first field address ?

Hello,

Does the C89/c90 language asserts that the address of a structure and
the address of the first field of the structure are the same ?

The standard guarantees that "A pointer to a structure object,
suitably converted, points to its initial member (or if that member is
a bit-field, then to the unit in which it resides), and vice versa.
There may be unnamed
padding within a structure object, but not at its
beginning." (6.7.2.1p13)
