3.6 Directive OPTION PROCALIGN
With OPTION PROCALIGN parameter it's possible to automatically align procedures. Syntax is:- OPTION PROCALIGN: [1|2|4|8|16|32]
Example:
.386 .model flat, stdcall option PROCALIGN:16 .code proc1 PROC ret proc1 endp proc2 PROC ret proc2 endp end
The listing shows that start address of proc2 is aligned to 16 (=10h):
00000000 proc1 PROC 00000000 ret 00000000 C3 * retn 00000001 proc1 endp 00000010 proc2 PROC 00000010 ret 00000010 C3 * retn 00000011 proc2 endp
Note: to ensure that the procedures are aligned in the final binary as it is supposed by the OPTION PROCALIGN value, the alignment of the current code segment must be at least the value of OPTION PROCALIGN.
