27 Natural alignment
30 The rule mentioned above forms what we refer to as natural alignment:
34 When writing code, assume the target architecture has natural alignment
37 In reality, only a few architectures require natural alignment on all sizes
39 writing code that satisfies natural alignment requirements is the easiest way
91 Fortunately, the compiler understands the alignment constraints, so in the
117 For a natural alignment scheme, the compiler would only have to add a single
119 to satisfy alignment constraints for arrays of these structures.
128 architectural alignment requirements. However, again, the compiler is aware
129 of the alignment constraints and will generate extra instructions to perform
168 16-bit-aligned addresses. It is up to the caller to ensure this alignment or
169 not use this function at all. This alignment-unsafe function is still useful
170 as it is a decent optimization for the cases when you can ensure alignment,
239 header is 14 bytes long, so in order to get proper alignment one needs to
