/* alignof (TYPE), also known as _Alignof (TYPE), yields the alignment
requirement of a structure member (i.e., slot or field) that is of
type TYPE, as an integer constant expression.
This differs from GCC's __alignof__ operator, which can yield a
better-performing alignment for an object of that type. For
example, on x86 with GCC, __alignof__ (double) and __alignof__
(long long) are 8, whereas alignof (double) and alignof (long long)
are 4 unless the option '-malign-double' is used.
The result cannot be used as a value for an 'enum' constant, if you
want to be portable to HP-UX 10.20 cc and AIX 3.2.5 xlc. */

/* alignas (A), also known as _Alignas (A), aligns a variable or type
to the alignment A, where A is an integer constant expression. For
example:
int alignas (8) foo;
struct s { int a; int alignas (8) bar; };
aligns the address of FOO and the offset of BAR to be multiples of 8.
A should be a power of two that is at least the type's alignment
and at most the implementation's alignment limit. This limit is
2**28 on typical GNUish hosts, and 2**13 on MSVC. To be portable
to MSVC through at least version 10.0, A should be an integer
constant, as MSVC does not support expressions such as 1 << 3.
To be portable to Sun C 5.11, do not align auto variables to
anything stricter than their default alignment.
The following C11 requirements are not supported here:
- If A is zero, alignas has no effect.
- alignas can be used multiple times; the strictest one wins.
- alignas (TYPE) is equivalent to alignas (alignof (TYPE)).
