For 39 example, on x86 with GCC, __alignof__ (double) and __alignof__ 40 (long long) are 8, whereas alignof (double) and alignof (long long) 41 are 4 unless the option '-malign-double' is used. 42 43 The result cannot be used as a value for an 'enum' constant, if you 44 want to be portable to HP-UX 10.20 cc and AIX 3.2.5 xlc. */ 45 #include <stddef.h> 46 #if defined __cplusplus 47 template <class __t> struct __alignof_helper { char __a; __t __b; }; 48 # define _Alignof(type) offsetof (__alignof_helper<type>, __b) 49 #else 50 # define _Alignof(type) offsetof (struct { char __a; type __b; }, __b) 51 #endif 52 #define alignof _Alignof 53 #define __alignof_is_defined 1 54 55 /* alignas (A), also known as _Alignas (A), aligns a variable or type 56 to the alignment A, where A is an integer constant expression.
