[Frama-c-discuss] alignment assumptions?

Dear All,

I have C source code (which I did not write myself) that on xLP64 uses
the least significant bits of a pointer to a struct to store
additional data under the assumption that the struct is aligned and
those bits would all be 0 for the pointer.

One obvious option would be to add an extra field to store those
additional bytes. This would blow up the memory for maintaining the
data structure by 1/3.

What are other options?

Thanks in advance,

Marko
