There was a problem hiding this comment.
This isn't correct. On some 32-bit x86 targets, the alignment of these are indeed 32-bits. This change also doesn't make sense in the context of the rest of the paragraph, since it is contrasting situations when the alignment is not the same as the size.
Perhaps it would be clearer if it said "on 32-bit x86,".
