Questions tagged [alignment]

In GUI (inc. web page) context, alignment refers to the positioning of visual elements. Or for memory addresses, being a multiple of some power of 2.

In GUI (inc. web page) context, alignment refers to the positioning of visual elements. Three possibility of alignment left, right, and center.

In a memory addressing context, alignment is the placement of data or code at memory addresses that are multiples of some (usually small) power of 2, for example having an array start at a 16-byte boundary with C++ alignas(16) int foo[1024];. This means the address will end with at least 4 0 bits.

For this meaning, prefer the tag.

Purpose of memory alignment

Admittedly I don't get it. Say you have a memory with a memory word of length of 1 byte. Why can't you access a 4 byte long variable in a single memory access on an unaligned address(i.e. not divisible by 4), as it's the case with aligned addresses?
