+    This indicates that the pointer value or vector of pointers has the
+    specified alignment. If applied to a vector of pointers, *all* pointers
+    (elements) have the specified alignment. If the pointer value does not have
+    the specified alignment, :ref:`poison value <poisonvalues>` is returned or
+    passed instead.  The ``align`` attribute should be combined with the

+    non-preallocated arguments.
 
     Note that this attribute has additional semantics when combined with the
     ``byval`` or ``preallocated`` attribute, which are documented there.
