#pragma align integer (variable[, variable])

The align pragma makes all the mentioned variables memory aligned to integer bytes, overriding the default. The following limitations apply:

• The integer value must be a power of 2 between 1 and 128; valid values are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128.

• variable is a global or static variable; it cannot be an automatic variable.

• If the specified alignment is smaller than the default, the default is used.

• The pragma line must appear before the declaration of the variables which it mentions; otherwise, it is ignored.

• Any variable that is mentioned but not declared in the text following the pragma line is ignored. For example:

  ---

  #pragma align 64 (aninteger, astring, astruct)
  
  int aninteger;
  static char astring[256];
  struct astruct{int a; char *b;};
