Contribution description
__attribute__((aligned(<NUM>)))
is a compiler extension. We can just usealignas()
, which is part of the C standard since C11_Alignas()
is a keyword since C11 andalignas()
the alias provided by<stdalign.h>
. But_Alignas()
is deprecated since C23. Let's just go foralignas()
instead.Testing procedure
alignas()
and__attribute__((aligned()))
have the same semantics, butalignas()
cannot be placed as freely as the__attribute__((aligned()))
variant. But the CI will catch syntax errors.Issues/PRs references
