<p>
The <code>PCALIGN</code> pseudo-instruction is used to indicate that the next instruction should be aligned
to a specified boundary by padding with no-op instructions.
</p>

<p>
It is currently supported on arm64, amd64, ppc64, loong64 and riscv64.

For example, the start of the <code>MOVD</code> instruction below is aligned to 32 bytes:
<pre>
PCALIGN $32
MOVD $2, R0
</pre>
