hello everybody what is the difference betwenn __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR macros? i read that __ALIGN_STR is the string version of __ALIGN and does the same job as __ALIGN . i want to know in what sense they are actually diffrent? what are the limitations of __ALIGN which __ALIGN_STR overcomes? any code snippets or pointers will be appreciated.
