The specific instructions generated can be controlled with the
new \i\c{ALIGNMODE} macro. This macro takes two parameters: one mode,
and an optional jump threshold override. If (for any reason) you need
to turn off the jump completely just set jump threshold value to -1.
The following modes are possible:
to turn off the jump completely just set jump threshold value to -1

\b \c{generic}: Works on all x86 CPUs and should have reasonable
performance. The default jump threshold is 8. This is the
