Perhaps it was someone who actually knows C.  Whoever said it was
correct.  Objects may be padded in that there may be bytes that are
not used, but there must be no additional padding between array
elements.  For any type T,

	T a;
	T b[5];

we must have sizeof b == 5 * sizeof a. There can be no unused space
between b[0] and b[1].
