What's the meaning of "Algn" in "objdump -h"?


Hi,

Under MinGW32 I got the following results:

C:\MSYS\home\jimeng>type x.c
short b __attribute__((aligned(16)));


C:\MSYS\home\jimeng>objdump -h x.o


x.o: file format pe-i386

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
 0 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  00000000  2**2
                 ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
 1 .data         00000000  00000000  00000000  00000000  2**2
                 ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
 2 .bss          00000000  00000000  00000000  00000000  2**2
                 ALLOC

Shouldn't .data be aligned to "2**4" or the "Algn" of an object doesn't mean too much?
