Say,
struct foo
{
int x;
double y;
/* etc. more variables defined */
short u;
char z;
} a;
Are the following true on all systems?
1) &a == &a.x
2) (&a.x < &a.y) && ( .. etc.. ) && ( &a.u < & a.z)
Are the following true if we change 'struct' to 'union' above, on all
systems?
3) &a == &a.x
4) &a.? == &a.? where ?s can be x, y, ..., u, or z (not necessarily
equal for both ?s)
Thank you for the help.

Yes to all.

No, but you're almost there.
Note that the pointer types don't match. Your expressions
violate constraints. It is true to say that...
(int *) &a == &a.x
&a == (struct foo *) &a.x
offsetof(struct foo, x) == 0
offsetof(struct foo, x) < offsetof(struct foo, y)
offsetof(struct foo, y) < offsetof(struct foo, u)
offsetof(struct foo, u) < offsetof(struct foo, z)
Are the following true if we change 'struct' to 'union' above, on all
systems?
3) &a == &a.x
(int *) &a == &a.x
&a == (union foo *) &a.x
4) &a.? == &a.? where ?s can be x, y, ..., u, or z (not necessarily
equal for both ?s)
If the addresses are converted to void * or suitable type, they must
compare equal.
Note that it is not possible to take the address of bitfields.

Hello,
Please help me with the following struct development:
I need three levels of a data structure simulating a 3 level
pagetable. I need a structure which has a pointer to an array of
pointers. The array size will be inputted as a command line arg. These
pointers will point to another structure of the same type. Therefore
we will have a pointer to an array of ptrs each pointing to an array
which is of a different size then the...

Hi,
I will write ANSI C89.
Is the following struct defenition correct ?
I wrote it with VC6(Windows IDE) and at first no Problem.
As I changed a compiler switch to 'no language extension',
the compiler said that the union has no name.
Is it right that in ANSI C the union must be named inside this kind of
structure ?

I would like to check if I understand the following excerpt correctly:
6.2.5#26 (Types):
All pointers to structure types shall have the same representation and
alignment requirements as each other. All pointers to union types shall
have the same representation and alignment requirements as each other.
Does it mean that *all* structure (or union) types have the same
alignment?

# A structure or union type of unknown

Hi,
Is there a tool that, given a struct definition, generates a function
that parses binary data of this struct and a command that can be used
to construct binary data according to user-specified values for the
fields of this struct?
Thank you.

I hate using struct / union with dot between two words. How can I use
one word instead of two words because I want the source code look reading

For example.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
