That depends a lot on your definition of "runtime memory use":
Consider:
a := [100]int16
b := bar{C: a[:]}
Variable a clearly "uses" 200 bytes (maybe plus some for alignment).
But b.C uses a's memory as the backing array. Attributing a slice's
memory to the slice might result in double counting these 200 bytes.
(Same for structs which contain pointers: Two variables may point to
the same object. Where do you count the memory used?).
Maybe it is best to think of bar's memory usage as 4*8 bytes and not
to attribute C's backing array memory to bar.
