In c++ every object have to have memory ... here even if you define empty structure compiler has to allocate memory to it. and minimum size is 1 byte.

When u declare a structure it never take memory , but when u take a varibale of that structure then the compiler allocate the memory for it.
Sice your structure is Empty but the symbolic name u r going to provide it it takes 1 byte. As the size of the char.

I'm converting an application that relies heavily on a binary network protocol. Within this protocol are a lot of byte arrays of character data, like: public unsafe struct MsgAddEntry { public byte MsgType; public uint Tag; public fixed byte ID; public fixed byte Val1;

Although the C90 standard only mentions the use of 'signed int' and 'unsigned int' for bit-fields (use 'int' at your own risk) and C99 adds _Bool. It seems that most compilers create the size of the bit-field object from the size used to specify the field. Could this be considered a defacto standard now (at least for 8 bit sized bit-fields)? Any recent compilers not allowing this?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
