--- Comment #4 from Martin Uecker <muecker at gwdg dot de> --- The concern would be that a program relying on the size of an object being larger may then have out of bounds accesses. But rereading the standard, I am also not not seeing that this is required. (for the extension nothing is required anyway, but it should be consistent with it).
