The ALIGNED attribute indicates the object is to be aligned on a specific memory boundary. Syntax: ALIGNED [[( n )]] The default alignment of an object depends on its size. The constant expression n must denote an integer. If you omit n, the default is 0, indicating byte alignment. An aligned object is aligned on the memory boundary indicated by n. The constant expression n indicates that the address of the object must end in at least n zeros. ALIGNED(0) specifies byte alignment, ALIGNED(1) specifies word alignment, ALIGNED(2) specifies longword alignment, ALIGNED(3) specifies quadword alignment, ALIGNED(4) specifies octaword alignment, ALIGNED(9), specifies 512-byte alignment, and ALIGNED(13) specifies 8192-byte alignment. See the "HP Pascal Language Reference Manual" for the complete description of using the ALIGNED attribute.
