To clarify, keep the logic as-is and just change the message, or do
something like this and actually change the checks?
if (TYPE_ALIGN (type1) != TYPE_ALIGN (type2))
{
if (explain)
{
inform (location_of (type1),
"%qT and %qT have different alignment requirements",
type1, type2);
inform (location_of (type2), "%qT declared here", type2);
}
return false;
}
if (!tree_int_cst_equal (TYPE_SIZE (type1), TYPE_SIZE (type2)))
{
if (explain)
{
inform (location_of (type1),
"%qT and %qT have different sizes", type1, type2);
inform (location_of (type2), "%qT declared here", type2);
}
return false;
}
This will change the behaviour of whether say
struct A { char x[8]; };
struct alignas(8) B { char x[8]; };
are considered layout compatible; we currently say that they are but it
sounds like maybe we want to interpret them as not being so?
