Not quite. Doubleword alignment is alignment on an 8byte boundary. The
address of such a boundary will be a multiple of 8, not a power of two.
Oops, when I said Albert was "right" I meant in terms of aligning with
computer memory, I didn't register the "power of two" bit, which is, as
you say, not correct. Apologies for any confusion caused!
