In every system that I'm familiar with, the alignments are all powers of 2. If you think of this as a kind of bin packing problem with different sized bins, then every large bin can always be split into 2 bins of half the size.
Therefore, if something fits into a small bin, you can't possibly get better packing by putting it in a larger bin. The alignment constraint means that it could never straddle the boundary between those two adjacent bins. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
