+<a name="index-alignment"></a>
+<a name="index-type-alignment"></a>
+<a name="index-variable-alignment"></a>
+
+<p>The keyword <code>__alignof__</code> determines the alignment requirement of
+a function, object, or a type, or the minimum alignment usually required
+by a type. Its syntax is just like <code>sizeof</code> and C11 <code>_Alignof</code>.
+</p>
+<p>For example, if the target machine requires a <code>double</code> value to be
+aligned on an 8-byte boundary, then <code>__alignof__ (double)</code> is 8.
+This is true on many RISC machines. On more traditional machine
+designs, <code>__alignof__ (double)</code> is 4 or even 2.
+</p>
+<p>Some machines never actually require alignment; they allow references to any
+data type even at an odd address. For these machines, <code>__alignof__</code>
+reports the smallest alignment that GCC gives the data type, usually as
+mandated by the target ABI.
+</p>
+<p>If the operand of <code>__alignof__</code> is an lvalue rather than a type,
+its value is the required alignment for its type, taking into account
+any minimum alignment specified by attribute <code>aligned</code>
+(see <a href="Common-Variable-Attributes.html#Common-Variable-Attributes">Common Variable Attributes</a>). For example, after this
+declaration:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">struct foo { int x; char y; } foo1;
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>the value of <code>__alignof__ (foo1.y)</code> is 1, even though its actual
+alignment is probably 2 or 4, the same as <code>__alignof__ (int)</code>.
+It is an error to ask for the alignment of an incomplete type other
+than <code>void</code>.
+</p>
+<p>If the operand of the <code>__alignof__</code> expression is a function,
+the expression evaluates to the alignment of the function which may
+be specified by attribute <code>aligned</code> (see <a href="Common-Function-Attributes.html#Common-Function-Attributes">Common Function Attributes</a>).
