Description:

According to RS/6000 Alignment Rules, structs containing   
bit fields are 4-byte (word) aligned. The following testcase 
illustrates that this rule is violated, when Substruct B is not  
word aligned. 

Testcase:

extern int      printf(const char *, ...);
typedef unsigned char UCHAR;

typedef struct {
    UCHAR               a   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               b   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               c   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               d   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               e   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               f   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               g   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               h   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               i   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               J   : 1 ;
    UCHAR               K   : 6 ;
} SubStruct ;

typedef struct {
    UCHAR               A[5];
    SubStruct           B   ;
    UCHAR               C   ;
    UCHAR               D[4];
} Struct ;

int main() {
  Struct data;
  printf("sizeof(SubStruct) =%d\n",sizeof(SubStruct));
  printf("sizeof(Struct)    =%d\n",sizeof(Struct));
  printf(" offset of B      =%d\n",
        ((unsigned int)&(data.B)-(unsigned int)&data));
  printf(" offset of C      =%d\n",
        ((unsigned int)&(data.C)-(unsigned int)&data));
  printf(" offset of D      =%d\n",
        ((unsigned int)&(data.D)-(unsigned int)&data));
  return 0;
}

Actual Output:

$ gcc t.c
$ ./a.out
Address of Struct =2ff22a20
sizeof(SubStruct) =2
sizeof(Struct)    =12
 offset of B      =5
 offset of C      =7
 offset of D      =8
$

Expected Output:

$ gcc t.c
$ ./a.out
Address of Struct =2ff22a20
sizeof(SubStruct) =2
sizeof(Struct)    =20
 offset of B      =8
 offset of C      =12
 offset of D      =13
