  33 /* alignof (TYPE), also known as _Alignof (TYPE), yields the alignment
  34    requirement of a structure member (i.e., slot or field) that is of
  35    type TYPE, as an integer constant expression.
  36
  37    This differs from GCC's __alignof__ operator, which can yield a
  38    better-performing alignment for an object of that type.  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.

  70 /* alignas (A), also known as _Alignas (A), aligns a variable or type
  71    to the alignment A, where A is an integer constant expression.  For
  72    example:
  73
  74       int alignas (8) foo;
  75       struct s { int a; int alignas (8) bar; };
  76
  77    aligns the address of FOO and the offset of BAR to be multiples of 8.
  78
  79    A should be a power of two that is at least the type's alignment
  80    and at most the implementation's alignment limit.  This limit is
  81    2**28 on typical GNUish hosts, and 2**13 on MSVC.  To be portable
  82    to MSVC through at least version 10.0, A should be an integer
  83    constant, as MSVC does not support expressions such as 1 << 3.
  84    To be portable to Sun C 5.11, do not align auto variables to
  85    anything stricter than their default alignment.
  86
  87    The following C11 requirements are not supported here:
  88
  89      - If A is zero, alignas has no effect.
  90      - alignas can be used multiple times; the strictest one wins.
  91      - alignas (TYPE) is equivalent to alignas (alignof (TYPE)).
