It's also possible to set alignment of struct fields:

{#code_begin|test#}
const std = @import("std");
const expectEqual = std.testing.expectEqual;
test "aligned struct fields" {
const S = struct {
a: u32 align(2),
b: u32 align(64),
};
var foo = S{ .a = 1, .b = 2 };
expectEqual(64, @alignOf(S));
expectEqual(*align(2) u32, @TypeOf(&foo.a));
expectEqual(*align(64) u32, @TypeOf(&foo.b));
}
