Global variable alignment

Note: This was originally posted on 13th January 2011 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi,

I am working with RealView Compilation Tools v2.1. I need to align a static global variable on a 16-byte boundary. In the 'Compiler and Libraries Guide' document, section 3.1.3, the __align(n) keyword is explained. It is not clear to me if n=16 is allowed for a static global variable. I have tried it and it appears to be working, but I would like to confirm it.

Best Regards,
Miguel
