TMS570LC4357: How to Ensure .data Section Length is 8-Byte Aligned?

Tool/software:

Hi,

I'm trying to ensure the .data section in my CMD file is both start address aligned and length aligned to 8 bytes.

Here's my current setup:

While the start address aligns correctly, the length isn't 8-byte aligned. The linker output shows:

How can I make sure the section length is rounded up to the next multiple of 8 bytes? Any advice?

Thanks!
