There was a problem hiding this comment.
Microsoft is saying that the starting address of each RAWINPUT structure within the buffer must be aligned to a pointer boundary. The pointer itself doesn’t need special alignment.
Memory allocated with malloc or new will already handle this, so it's not clear why this warning is here. My guess is someone got burned after using a custom allocator (e.g., on say, the Xbox) and added a note for future developers.
