Hi, folks.


I have been asked how to correctly determine the allignment 
boundary.

My own suggestion is that the type ´int´ in C is used as the
´most appropriate´ data size for the processor so if

address % sizeof(int) == 0

anything can be put into that address without problems.

Is this all wrong ? Is there a better way or what ?
