> I wonder which architecture requires all pointers to have an alignment of 8. Many bytecode VMs in 64-bit mode do this by default! They may not be forced to align pointers by the CPU hardware, but they do it anyway for various reasons. Many (non-x86) CPUs require aligned pointers to either 32- or 64-bit boundaries. |
