… data. This is an issue with certain microprocessors like SPARC and ARM.
…daries. This fixes alignment issues in some platforms.
"%define parse.error detailed" is changed to "%define parse.error verbose" as the former is not supported by Bison versions older than 3.6, while the latter produces good enough syntax error messages.
Build automated tests with that option.
…_OPCODE_JUMP). While copying larger types into an `*int16_t` using memcpy we may have been copying only the most significant bytes.
Also remove the current_re_node_offset macro.

The x86 platform is very forgiving when you access a 16-bits variable stored at a memory address that is not aligned to a 2-bytes boundary, or a 32-bits variable that is not aligned to 4-bytes boundary, and so on. Other platforms, like ARM or Sparc are not that flexible, and accessing a value by dereferencing a pointer that is not aligned to the size of the value causes a processor fault.
This fixes multiple issues caused by pointers that are not aligned to the size of the value.
