In the same keyboard int handler I mentioned in my last post, the directive
.align 4 is used throughout the assembly. I think I understand the purpose
of alignment, but what are the advantages to using it? Why is it used.
Does it help speed? And why is there the need to repeat the same alignment
directive throughout the code when the same value is fed to it each time (in
this case .align 4)? Thanks again.
