body: <p>A point from ISO standard n3290 draft ,Section 3.11:Alignment : 1st point</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Object types have alignment requirements (3.9.1, 3.9.2) which place restrictions on 
        the addresses at which an object of that type may be allocated. An alignment is an
        implementation-defined integer value representing the number of bytes between 
        successive addresses at which a given object can be allocated.An object type imposes
        an alignment requirement on every object of that type; stricter alignment can be     requested using the alignment specifier (7.6.2).</p>
