> why function pointers can't be forced into even alignment The actual instructions are aligned on an even byte boundary; however, on AArch32, encoding interoperability is achieved with BLX or BX, which uses the low bit as a tag value: 0=A32, 1=T16/32. However, in a lisp interpreter, e.g., you should never find a function pointer in an "object" context; i.e., something which could be an integer instead.
