options

Specifies how to align structure and class data.

Syntax

#pragma options align= 
  alignment

Parameter

alignment

Specifies the boundary on which structure and class data is aligned in memory. Values for alignment range from 1 to 16, or use one of the following preset values:

Table 1. Structs and Classes Alignment
If alignment is ...	The compiler ...
`mac68k`	Aligns every field on a 2-byte boundaries, unless a field is only 1 byte long. This is the standard alignment for 68K Mac OS alignment.
`mac68k4byte`	Aligns every field on 4-byte boundaries.
`power`	Aligns every field on its natural boundary. For example, it aligns a character on a 1-byte boundary and a 16-bit integer on a 2-byte boundary. The compiler applies this alignment recursively to structured data and arrays containing structured data. So, for example, it aligns an array of structured types containing an 4-byte floating point member on an 4-byte boundary.
`native`	Aligns every field using the standard alignment.
`packed`	Aligns every field on a 1-byte boundary. It is not available in any panel. This alignment causes your code to crash or run slowly on many platforms. Use it with caution.
`reset`	Resets to the value in the previous `#pragmaoptionsalign` statement.
