You are using 32bit compiler. Variables are rounded to multiply of 32bit.
for example:

byte, short, char - these variables are 4 bytes long in memory.

You can use something like that to produce correct struture in memory
(if you want to write or read from file)


typedef struct
{
 unsigned short int bfType      __attribute__ ((packed));
 unsigned int       bfSize      __attribute__ ((packed));
 unsigned short int bfReserved1 __attribute__ ((packed));
 unsigned short int bfReserved2 __attribute__ ((packed));
 unsigned int       bfOffBits  __attribute__ ((packed));
}BITMAPFILEHEADER;
