#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int *iptr;
char *cptr;

#if defined(__GNUC__)
# if defined(__i386__)
/* Enable Alignment Checking on x86 */
__asm__("pushf\norl $0x40000,(%esp)\npopf");
# elif defined(__x86_64__)
/* Enable Alignment Checking on x86_64 */
__asm__("pushf\norl $0x40000,(%rsp)\npopf");
# endif
#endif

/* malloc() always provides aligned memory */
cptr = malloc(sizeof(int) + 1);

/* Increment the pointer by one, making it misaligned */
iptr = (int *) ++cptr;

/* Dereference it as an int pointer, causing an unaligned access */
*iptr = 42;

return 0;
}

Answer 12

i l check that
