If the structure is intended to mirror the layout of the Java object,
then your assumptions are flawed.  For example, in a 64-bit JVM,
integers are 8 bytes wide, of which only 4 are actually used.  Also,
booleans have no defined size, and JVM implementations are free to
allocate whatever space deemed appropriate, from 1 bit upwards.
