What does the C standard say about pointers to structs and their first member?
- by James Morris
Consider the following two struct:
struct a
{
int a;
};
struct b
{
struct a a_struct;
int b;
};
the following instantiation of struct b:
struct b b_struct;
and this condition:
if (&b_struct == (struct b*)&b_struct.a_struct)
printf("Yes\n");
Does the C standard mandate this to always evaluate true?
