+Simple project for determining the alignment for various architectures.
+
+To use, install an appropriate target using `rustup target add TARGETNAME`
+
+You can then build using `cargo build --target=TARGETNAME` and disassemble the lib using:
+`llvm-objdump -d target/TARGETNAME/debug/libalign.a`
+
+I tested the following:
+
+* aarch64-apple-ios
+* armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi
+* armv7-linux-androideabi
+* i686-linux-android
+* x86_64-apple-darwin
+* x86_64-apple-ios
+
+and they all produced 1, 2, 4, and 8 for the alignment of u8, u16, u32, and u64
+with the exception that i686-linux-android produced an alignment of 4 for u64.
