Data Storage and Alignment The alignment requirements of some data types are different on the HP 9000 Series 700/800. Check any externally imposed data structure layouts for differences. These may include byte and bit-field order, if you are migrating from a VAX, or different internal padding for structure member alignment. On the HP 9000 Series 700/800, doubles must be aligned on a 64-bit boundary, whereas other machines require alignment on a 32-bit boundary. Refer to Chapter 2 for complete storage and alignment information.
