The following table shows how you can use -xmemalign to handle different alignment situations.

Table A–39 Examples of -xmemalign


Command	Situation
`-xmemalign=1s`	All memory accesses are misaligned so trap handling is too slow.
`-xmemalign=8i`	There are occasional, intentional, misaligned accesses in code that is otherwise correct.
`-xmemalign=8s`	There should be no misaligned accesses in the program.
`-xmemalign=2s`	You want to check for possible odd-byte accesses.
`-xmemalign=2i`	You want to check for possible odd-byte access and you want the program to work.
