- * x86 platform works with unaligned access
+ * x86 platform works with unaligned access but the compiler is allowed to
+ * assume all data is aligned to its size by the C standard. This means it can
+ * vectorize instructions peeling only by the size of the type, if the data is
+ * not aligned to this size one ends up with data not correctly aligned for SSE
+ * instructions (16 byte).
+ * So this flag can only be enabled if autovectorization is disabled.
