If you want to understand what you are doing you will best attain that 
understanding by simply working with the language and reading up about 
the way compilers deal (or expected to deal) with what you write. 
Learning a language and learning a hardware platform are orthogonal 
activities for the most part. This is especially true for C which is 
after all sort of the lingua franca of system programming. One book (K&R 
for example) supplemented by the C99 standard should be plenty of 
material to go by. I have the feeling that what you're looking for is 
the kind of knowledge that goes beyond examples, so best let the 
examples be and dive straight in. Write code and ask yourself "What will 
the memory layout look like for my data structures?". Perhaps a book 
about algorithms and data structures is in order?
