It depends on the CPU architecture. The smallest addressable unit in the C++
memory model is the byte. The number of bits in a C++ byte is
implementation-specific, but to be compatible with C, it must contain
atleast 8 bits. Typically, if the size of a built in type is smaller than
the smallest addressable unit of the CPU, the CPU-byte, the implementation
must include an offset, in conjunction with the CPU-byte address, to be able
to address the C++ byte within the CPU-byte.
