Because the type u8 doesn't require any alignment requirements, it can
nestle right up there cozy with the u16:
zx2c4@...nkpad ~ $ cat a.c
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
int main()
{
struct {
uint64_t a;
uint32_t b;
uint32_t c;
uint16_t d;
char x[];
} a;
printf("%zu\n", sizeof(a));
printf("%zu\n", offsetof(typeof(a), x));
return 0;
}
zx2c4@...nkpad ~ $ gcc a.c
zx2c4@...nkpad ~ $ ./a.out
