+/**
+ * alignof - ALIGNOF() macro to determine alignment of a type.
+ *
+ * Many platforms have requirements that certain types must be aligned
+ * to certain address boundaries, such as ints needing to be on 4-byte
+ * boundaries.  Attempting to access variables with incorrect
+ * alignment may cause performance loss or even program failure (eg. a
+ * bus signal).
+ *
+ * There are times which it's useful to be able to programatically
+ * access these requirements, such as for dynamic allocators.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *	#include <stdio.h>
+ *	#include <stdlib.h>
+ *	#include <ccan/alignof/alignof.h>
+ *
+ *	// Output contains "ALIGNOF(char) == 1"
+ *	// Will also print out whether an onstack char array can hold a long.
+ *	int main(void)
+ *	{
+ *		char arr[sizeof(int)];
+ *
+ *		printf("ALIGNOF(char) == %zu\n", ALIGNOF(char));
+ *		if ((unsigned long)arr % ALIGNOF(int)) {
+ *			printf("arr %p CANNOT hold an int\n", arr);
+ *			exit(1);
+ *		} else {
+ *			printf("arr %p CAN hold an int\n", arr);
+ *			exit(0);
+ *		}
+ *	}
