@ -19,6 +19,8 @@ For contracts that use inheritance, the ordering of state variables is determine
C3-linearized order of contracts starting with the most base-ward contract. If allowed
by the above rules, state variables from different contracts do share the same storage slot.
The elements of structs and arrays are stored after each other, just as if they were given explicitly.
.. warning::
When using elements that are smaller than 32 bytes, your contract's gas usage may be higher.
This is because the EVM operates on 32 bytes at a time. Therefore, if the element is smaller

.. note::
The layout of state variables in storage is considered to be part of the external interface
of Solidity due to the fact that storage pointers can be passed to libraries. This means that
any change to the rules outlined in this section is considered a breaking change
