If I want to create an auto-initialized array of UBYTES, and then later
access each 4 bytes as a longword, can I ensure that the array is longword
aligned in some portable way (eg by placing it immediately after some other
32-bit global variable)? Will some compilers re-arrange declared storage
behind my back?
