# Section 1 / Using Structs
|
|
|
|
This topic has already been covered indirectly by examples provided in:
|
|
|
|
* [alignment](./alignment.md)
|
|
* and [defining](./defining.md)
|
|
|
|
To summarize using `structs`:
|
|
|
|
* All `structs` have a base address
|
|
|
|
* The base address corresponds to the beginning of the first data member
|
|
|
|
* All subsequent data members are offsets relative to the first
|
|
|
|
* In order to use a `struct` correctly, you must have first calculated the offsets of each data member
|
|
|
|
* Sometimes there will be padding between data members due to the need to align all data members on natural boundaries.
