Remarks
{$CODEALIGN} sets the starting address for a procedure or function. The possible alignment settings are:
{$CODEALIGN 0} {$CODEALIGN 1} {$CODEALIGN 2} {$CODEALIGN 4} {$CODEALIGN 8} {$CODEALIGN 16}
For example, {$CODEALIGN 16} sets the code alignment to 16-byte boundaries.
Specifying {$CODEALIGN 1} sets 1-byte boundaries, in which case no gaps or fillers are generated.
For data alignment, use the {$ALIGN} directive.
Note: The
.ALIGN 16
pseudo-instruction, which can be used in asm blocks, has the same signification as {$CODEALIGN 16}.See Also
