Well the proposed solution in <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16925> doesn't work, as VC++ doesn't accept that syntax. And the solutions in <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19775> whereby a uint32_t or uint64_t buffer are made don't work for larger types and use more memory than necessary. They might be useful as a fallback for compilers that don't support alignment directives, though the primary implementations of every compiler that I work with (GCC, VC++, CodeWarrior, EDG, SN, IBM) support it.
I'll make a patch and attach it to <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16925>, if that's OK.
