For instance array.c:rb_ary_product() uses RSTRING_PTR() as an array of int. So to avoid misaligned memory access RSTRING_PTR() must at least be sizeof(int)-aligned. However the type of RSTRING_PTR() is char*, which of course can expect alignment as much as 1. This is a problem. The reality is, there is no misaligned memory access because the memory region behind RSTRING_PTR() is allocated using malloc(). Memory regions returned from malloc() are always aligned appropriately. So let's tell the compiler about this information. It seems GCC, clang, and MSVC have such feature. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk@61827 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e
