 # Compiler Warning (level 4) C4324
 
-> '*structname*': structure was padded due to alignment specifier
+> '*type*': structure was padded due to alignment specifier
+
+## Remarks
 
-Padding was added at the end of a structure because you specified an alignment specifier, such as [__declspec(align)](../../cpp/align-cpp.md).
+Padding was added at the end of a class/struct/union because you specified an alignment specifier, such as [`alignas`](../../cpp/alignas-specifier.md) or [`__declspec(align)`](../../cpp/align-cpp.md).
 
-For example, the following code generates C4324:
+## Example
+
+For example, `S1` and `S2` generates C4324 because padding is added when the specified alignment is greater than the default alignment of `1` and `4` respectively:
 
 ```cpp
 // C4324.cpp
-// compile with: /W4
-struct __declspec(align(32)) A
+// compile with: /W4 /c
+
+struct alignas(4) S1 {};   // C4324
+
+struct alignas(8) S2
 {
-   char a;
+    int i;
 };   // C4324
 
-int main()
+struct alignas(4) S3
 {
-}
+    int i;
+};   // OK
 ```
