RealView Compilation Tools for µVision Compiler Reference Guide

Home > Compiler-specific Features > Keywords and operators > __alignof__

4.1.2. `alignof`

The __alignof__ keyword enables you to enquire about the alignment of a type or variable.

Note

This keyword is a GNU compiler extension that is supported by the ARM compiler.

Syntax

__alignof__(type)

__alignof__(expr)

Where:

type: is a type
expr: is an lvalue.

Return value

__alignof__(type) returns the alignment requirement for the type type, or 1 if there is no alignment requirement.

__alignof__(expr) returns the alignment requirement for the type of the lvalue expr, or 1 if there is no alignment requirement.

Example

int Alignment_0(void)
{
    return __alignof__(int);
}
