Static proc objects defined as methods may be placed in 4-byte alignments in 32-bit environments.
This may be misinterpreted as an immediate value depending on the address.

Since C11 and C++11 have additional language features for byte alignment, corresponding compilers use them to define the `mrb_alignas()` macro.
For earlier compilers, they use their own extensions to define the `mrb_alignas()` macro.

GCC supports `__attribute__((aligned(alignment)))` since at least version 2.95.3 (1999).

According to GPT-4, support was added in version 2.7 (1995).

It is not known which version of Visual C++ added support for `__declspec(align(n))`.
According to GPT-4, at least Visual C++ 6.0 (1998) seems to support it.
Also, the documentation of past Intel C/C++ compilers that support `__declspec(align(n))` makes reference to support with Visual C++ 4.2 (1996).
