That would depend on the compiler implementation. There is more than
one to parse code. Some compilers try to minimize passes over the code,
and other compilers prefer the simplicity of first checking syntax and
then doing semantic analysis.

The method for parsing a union is almost the same analyzing a
structure, but before each member, the variable that is recording the
offset from the beginning of the object is reset to 0.

Why do you care how the compiler "works" in this case? Or did
you mean to ask what "union" /means/ in C?

It tends to work slower. It wants more paid holidays and time off for
"family issues". It wants more frequent pay raises. It sends
representatives to board meetings, and demand better working conditions.
And it charges all the subroutines a small stipend at each invocation,
then drives around in a big car with a fancy new watch.
