How does OpenCV ensure that Mat::data is correctly aligned?

Suppose I have a matrix whose elements are shorts, e.g. 16UC1. The actual data in a Mat is stored in a uchar array pointed to by Mat::data. Could anyone point me to the bit of code that ensures that the uchar* is actually correctly aligned for 16-bit elements? Thank you.

Brilliant, thank you! Presumably if I use one of the Mat constructors that takes a void* argument, it is my own fault if it isn't aligned properly.

If you use Mat with void* your data alignment is unchanged. This is only a Mat wrapper around your data and does not copy any data.
