I think you are right, as MSDN says about malloc:

  The storage space pointed to by the return value is guaranteed to be
  suitably aligned for storage of any type of object that has an
  alignment requirement less than or equal to that of the fundamental
  alignment. (In Visual C++, the fundamental alignment is the
  alignment that's required for a double, or 8 bytes. In code that
  targets 64-bit platforms, it’s 16 bytes.)

So I guess this is the basis for GCC to assume 16-byte alignment.

Thanks.
