Will ever use, or can ever use? Based on the code, it looks like "can ever use" - i.e. it's an edict to the compiler to not exceed that value, thus varasm warns when you exceed it. > So if ix86_data_alignment wants to return 256 for some variable, > then it seems to me that BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT should be 256. What if the object format doesn't allow recording alignments that high? For example, DJGPP's coff format can only record alignments up to 2**4 (16) bytes, but 256 bits is 2**5 (32) bytes.
