30 Natural alignment
33 The rule mentioned above forms what we refer to as natural alignment:
37 When writing code, assume the target architecture has natural alignment
40 In reality, only a few architectures require natural alignment on all sizes
42 writing code that satisfies natural alignment requirements is the easiest way
94 Fortunately, the compiler understands the alignment constraints, so in the
120 For a natural alignment scheme, the compiler would only have to add a single
122 to satisfy alignment constraints for arrays of these structures.
131 architectural alignment requirements. However, again, the compiler is aware
132 of the alignment constraints and will generate extra instructions to perform
171 16-bit-aligned addresses. It is up to the caller to ensure this alignment or
172 not use this function at all. This alignment-unsafe function is still useful
173 as it is a decent optimization for the cases when you can ensure alignment,
