Hello,
I am wondering, if there is a way to determine the alignment boundary,
in bytes, i.e. the boundary suitable to allocate data of any type on a
particular platform. An example would be highly appreciated.
One approach is to use malloc() to allocate some memory and see what
the alignment of the returned address is:
"The malloc() function returns a pointer to a block of at least size
bytes suitably aligned for any use."
