An alignment is an implementation-defined integer value representing the number of bytes between successive addresses at which a given object can be allocated.
Such a given object can be allocated at successive addresses whose differences are integral multiples of the alignment value. So, the alignment is defined to represent the minimum number of bytes for which the rule should be obeyed.
Suggested Resolution
