------- Comment #11 from jakub at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-03-27 09:42 ------- That will unnecessarily punish the majority of targets which use simple pointers. I thought you can align functions more than FUNCTION_BOUNDARY by ASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN, but apparently that's not unconditional. In that case, we should have a target macro or target hook, which will tell us alignment of ADDR_EXPR <FUNCTION_DECL>, defaulting to DECL_ALIGN_UNIT of the FUNCTION_DECL, and get_pointer_modulus_and_residue should use that.
