Win32, i386.

In FPC 2.0.3 -Oa option is described as "<type>=<values>". This is hard to understand. What should -Oa=16 mean? Probably, it could be better decribed.

(If I get it right, the "type" means code or data, and values are not alignment values for individual types. Even if so, I didn't understand what does it mean.)

There are assembler directives ".balign 16" for some types in .data or .bss sections (with -Oa=16). Code is aligned with ".balign 4" where it's useful.

Nothing, since you are not giving a type.

Probably, it could be better decribed.

The valid keywords are indeed not yet documented. Here are the possibilities (copy/paste from the compiler source):

           else if tok='JUMP' then
            b.jumpalign:=l
           else if tok='LOOP' then
            b.loopalign:=l
           else if tok='CONSTMIN' then
            b.constalignmin:=l
           else if tok='CONSTMAX' then
            b.constalignmax:=l
           else if tok='VARMIN' then
            b.varalignmin:=l
           else if tok='VARMAX' then
            b.varalignmax:=l
           else if tok='LOCALMIN' then
            b.localalignmin:=l
           else if tok='LOCALMAX' then
            b.localalignmax:=l
           else if tok='RECORDMIN' then
            b.recordalignmin:=l
           else if tok='RECORDMAX' then
            b.recordalignmax:=l

Forgot one:

           if tok='PROC' then
            b.procalign:=l
