[Valgrind-users] [function wrappers] why the finest granularity is "word" not "byte"?

[Jun Y. <YJ...@gm...>]

Sorry for repeated post if I have post more than once......I did not receive 
the confirmation for the first time post

Hello,

Thanks for the constant help! I have one more question now...

So far valgrind function wrapper only supports word type for arguments and 
return types. It is fine when encountering larger than words types like float 
or double I can always represent double as two words, but how about arguments 
with finer type like byte(8 bits) or short(16 bit)? If I use word to 
represent them will it cause any problem such as corrupting the stack upon 
function returning?

Thanks.
