# Footnotes

### (1)

This is not the same as the executable image file alignment controlled by `ld`'s ``--section-alignment'` option; image file sections in PE are aligned to multiples of 4096, which is far too large an alignment for ordinary variables. It is rather the default alignment for (non-debug) sections within object (``*.o'`) files, which are less strictly aligned.

### (2)

The term "macro" is somewhat overloaded here, since these macros have no relation to those defined by `.macro`, see section `.macro`.

### (3)

Literals for the `.init` and `.fini` sections are always placed in separate sections, even when ``--text-section-literals'` is enabled.

### (4)

Any more details?
