||
| Safe code must be prohibited from creating unaligned managed references. Managed refereces are often pinned as unmanaged pointers and passed to native code using C/C++ conventions. C/C++ requires that all pointers are properly aligned, the behavior is undefined otherwise and it can lead to memory safety violations. |
