Yes, but the standard dos not define what a misaligned pointer is
(or "correctly aligned").

It talks about the prefered alignment that implementations select and
that you can query with _Alignof - but there is no connection of that
value to the section you refer. Some implementations require minimal
alignement like their _Alignof returns, for others "correctly aligned" is
always true.

I might be missing something though.
