Hello,
I am using align(16) to align a structure. I use
typedef __declspec(align(16)) Vector3 Vec3;
Now, I am passing that Vec3 to a function, but the compiler (MSVC++ 7) says that Translate': formal parameter with __declspec(align('16')) won't be aligned
Can't align(16) structures be used as parameters?

Why would you want to pass a (large?) structure by value anyway?
Why not pass a pointer (or a reference) to the structure, then it will maintain its alignment since it's not actually copied anywhere.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
That use of align() will only align the Vec3 instance of Vector3.

So what should I do to pass a structure which has the align(16) in front of it?
