Size of structure containing char fields

Given a structure that contains only char fields (possibly unsigned):
struct example1 { char a, b, c; };
is ANSI restrictive enough [;-)] to force sizeof(example1) to be 3?
Is anyone aware of existing compilers for which this wouldn't be true?
Is there a portability problem with the following structure where the
array is intended to support a variable length array?
struct example2 { char a, b, c[1]; };
Thanks in advance.
