+r[cfg.target_has_atomic_primitive_alignment.def]
+Key-value option set for each bit width where the corresponding [atomic][core::sync::atomic] type has the same alignment as the equivalent integer type.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The alignment is usually the same for a given bit width. However, on some targets such as 32-bit x86, 64-bit atomic types such as [`AtomicI64`][core::sync::atomic::AtomicI64] have an alignment of 8 bytes while `i64` is only aligned to 4 bytes. In this situation, `target_has_atomic_primitive_alignment = "64"` is not set.
