In this case you can stop this "There is also Windows platform and other compilers than GCC/G++" statement. It's independent from the o.s. you are using! If you check out wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment#Data_structure_padding

"The following typical alignments are valid for compilers from Microsoft (Visual C++), Borland/CodeGear (C++Builder), Digital Mars (DMC) and GNU (GCC) when compiling for 32-bit x86:"
"Any pointer (four bytes) will be 4-byte aligned."

"The only notable difference in alignment for a 64-bit system when compared to a 32-bit system is:"
"Any pointer (eight bytes) will be 8-byte aligned."
