of 2. If not present, or if the alignment is set to zero, the alignment of
the global is set by the target to whatever it feels convenient. If an
explicit alignment is specified, the global is forced to have exactly that
alignment. Targets are not allowed to over-align the global in cases where
it is observable: for example, overaligning a global is observable if it has
an assigned section and higher alignment could cause holes between
consequtive globals.</p>
alignment. Targets and optimizers are not allowed to over-align the global
if the global has an assigned section. In this case, the extra alignment
could be observable: for example, code could assume that the globals are
densely packed in their section and try to iterate over them as an array,
alignment padding would break this iteration.</p>
<p>For example, the following defines a global in a numbered address space with
an initializer, section, and alignment:</p>
