Thanks.
OOC, when a program does
struct foo *ptr = malloc (sizeof struct foo);
how is the alignment of the resulting pointer arranged to be "the
maximum of the struct members"? The malloc function only sees the
size of the requested memory, it doesn't know anything about the
members. But if malloc is not guaranteed to produce a suitably
aligned memory chunk, then GCC cannot issue instructions requiring
struct members to be aligned.
