try the following program

pro teststruct
a={intnumber:0}
help,/structures,a
return
end

** Structure <3f3848>, 1 tags, length=2, refs=1:
INTNUMBER INT 0

pro teststruct
a={floatnumber:0.0 }
help,/structures,a
return
end

** Structure <3f3848>, 1 tags, length=8, refs=1:
DOUBLENUMBER DOUBLE 0.0000000

pro teststruct
a={ intnumber:0,doublenumber:0.0d }
help,/structures,a
return
end

** Structure <3f3848>, 2 tags, length=16, refs=1:
INTNUMBER INT 0
DOUBLENUMBER DOUBLE 0.0000000

notice the length=16
it shoud be 2+8=10
what is wrong?
