TCC already implements
__attribute__((aligned(8)))
For example:
struct X {
__attribute__((aligned(8))) char c;
};
C11 introduced _Alignas, and C23 adds the keyword alignas.
The advantage of having it as a keyword rather than as __attribute__ is
that attributes are
sometimes treated as optional, while alignment is not optional since it
directly affects the generated code
In my view, the alignas feature is fundamental enough that it should have
been part of the language
since C89.
