#91076 - alignment of variable in c
hi all
it is a bit offline question do not know wheather should be posted on this forum or not but i am sure people on this form
definitely know the answer of my querry especially erik(great supporter here)

i am unable to understand alignment attribute of variables in c
how it works
for example a code of line "int x_attribute((aligned((16))=0" causes the compiler to allocate the global variable x
on a 16byte boundary.

i know for fastest operation variables are aligned according to their size but i am unable to understand the meaning of 16byte boundary where is this boundary.

let me find out in processor ram with your support or tell me any forum which can solve my problem.
