mem_align_t(3)

✨ NAME ✨

mem_align_t — it's literally the fundamental block 💅 (that's Фундаментальный блок for the bilingual besties, iykyk).

And yes, this whole vibe is served to you fresh from the Library Functions Manual 🎀 that's the manual name, we're keeping it, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <mem.h>

✨ ПОДРОБНОЕ ОПИСАНИЕ ✨

okay so, the whole rundown, bestie 🫶

✨ ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЯ ✨

🚨 Alignment to a dword boundary is NOT guaranteed. Periodt. There's just no need for those guarantees right now, so we're not promising them.

And like, even when you do put fields of type dword inside mem_align_t, MS Visual Studio for x86 still won't guarantee alignment to an 8-octet boundary:

that link is the receipts, go read it 📎

✨ ПРИМ. ✨

The void* and void(*)() pointers get cast separately, because the equality

sizeof(void*) == sizeof(void(*)())

can totally be violated 😭 — like, it's allowed to just not hold. See:
