When do you expect non-natural alignment to occur? Is this purely for C++ support? If so you're guaranteed natural alignment. Otherwise (for intrinsics or for other languages) I'd like to understand what you expect, and whether you have the guarantee that the alignment information you have is correct. Without knowing that it's absolutely correct you're going to codegen bad code (a libcall in one place, and instructions in another).
