-fno-align-functions or /Qfnalign-

The compiler aligns functions on 2-byte boundaries. This is the same as specifying -falign-functions=2 (Linux and Mac OS X) or /Qfnalign:2 (Windows).

Description

This option tells the compiler to align functions on an optimal byte boundary. If you do not specify n, the compiler aligns the start of functions on 16-byte boundaries.
