You can use __declspec(align(16)).  See:

On a 32 bit architecture both Borland and Microsoft compilers use a 
default 8 byte alignment for doubles.  (I think this differs from gcc 
besed compilers that seem to use 4 byte alignment?)  You can use the 
__alignof operator to get the alignment of a type at runtime.

P.S.: Rici, I suspect you missed a mail or two from me.  At least I 
didn't get a response.  (I invited you to the workshop a/o.)
