c - why 'Sizeof' value differs from the number of bytes before the flexible-length member of a struct? -

- 

typedef struct {  /*has 15 pointers*/ // ==> 15 x 4 = 60 bytes ;  uint16_t;           // ==>           2 bytes  uint16_t array[]; } dummy_struct;

case-a) sizeof(dummy_struct) returns 64 bytes

case-b) while if try print,

((int) &(((dummy_struct *)(0))->array[0])) prints 62 bytes.

this prints 62 bytes well: ((int) &(((dummy_struct *)(0))->array))

i don't understand why there change in value? shouldn't sizeof() return 62 well?

if there's padding of 2 bytes, shouldn't happen before flexible-length member in struct? if that's case, shouldn't case-b print 64 instead of 62?

edit:

typedef struct {     uint32_t temp;     uint8_t array[][6]; } dummy2;          printf("%d %d\n", sizeof(dummy2), offsetof(dummy2, array));  // prints 4 4          printf("%d \n",((int) &(((dummy2 *)(0))->array[0])));   // prints 4

how come same effect not happening previous example? padding doesn't seem happen here. so, possible reason previous example padding happening after flexible-size member?

the sizeof returns size of entire structure, while other 2 expressions return offset of array member, happens 2 bytes before end of struct. can same result offsetof, this:

offsetof(dummy_struct, array) // 62

using jmockit 1.2 jar, trying mock string's length method getting unexpected invocation exception: failed: test java.lang.illegalstateexception: missing invocation mocked type @ point; please make sure such invocations appear after declaration of suitable mock field or parameter @ stringdemo.testa$1.<init>(testa.java:17) @ stringdemo.testa.test(testa.java:13) i using testng: @test public void test() throws exception { new expectations() { @mocked("length") string astring; { astring.length(); result = 2; } }; system.out.println(a.showa("test")); } } actual class a: public class { public static int showa(string str){ int a= str.length(); return a; } } this wrong way of recording expected results. shouldn't mock , record string's length() method, record showa() instead. here solution @suppresswarnings("unused...

What is the difference between data design and data model(ERD) -

i have google question , find answer in day. know, data design many many table have list column,and mark pk , fk. why er-diagram have find this? data design process of designing database. main output of data design detailed logical data model of database. some people data design includes of needed logical , physical design choices , physical storage parameters needed generate design in data definition language. technically, database analysis, database analysts (dbas) trained do. while person can both data design , database analysis, these 2 different tasks. data design models data. database analysis takes model , applies 1 or more database engines (relational, hierarchical, nosql). a logical data model 1 of main outputs of data design. data model represented entity relationship diagram, or er diagram.
