Struct size

Say I have two structs, defined like this:
struct A { /* could contain whatever */ }
struct B { A a; }
My question is, is it now guaranteed that A.sizeof==B.sizeof,
regardless of how A is defined (member variable types, alignment,
etc.)? More to the point, say I have a function foo() which
looks like this:
extern(C) void foo(A* ptr, size_t len);
Is it now guaranteed that I can safely pass it a pointer to an
array of Bs? That is,
auto arr = new B[10];
foo(cast(A*) arr.ptr, arr.length);
Thanks,
Lars
