<h3 class="section">Inquiring on Alignment of Types or Variables</h3>
<p>The keyword <code>__alignof__</code> allows you to inquire about how an object
is aligned, or the minimum alignment usually required by a type. Its
syntax is just like <code>sizeof</code>.
<p>For example, if the target machine requires a <code>double</code> value to be
aligned on an 8-byte boundary, then <code>__alignof__ (double)</code> is 8.
This is true on many RISC machines. On more traditional machine
designs, <code>__alignof__ (double)</code> is 4 or even 2.
<p>Some machines never actually require alignment; they allow reference to any
data type even at an odd addresses. For these machines, <code>__alignof__</code>
reports the <em>recommended</em> alignment of a type.
<p>If the operand of <code>__alignof__</code> is an lvalue rather than a type,
its value is the required alignment for its type, taking into account
any minimum alignment specified with GCC's <code>__attribute__</code>
extension (see <a href="Variable-Attributes.html#Variable%20Attributes">Variable Attributes</a>). For example, after this
declaration:
<pre class="example"> struct foo { int x; char y; } foo1;
</pre>
<p>the value of <code>__alignof__ (foo1.y)</code> is 1, even though its actual
alignment is probably 2 or 4, the same as <code>__alignof__ (int)</code>.
<p>It is an error to ask for the alignment of an incomplete type.
