+ requirement of a structure member (i.e., slot or field) that is of
+ type TYPE, as an integer constant expression.
+
+ This differs from GCC's __alignof__ operator, which can yield a
+ better-performing alignment for an object of that type. For
+ example, on x86 with GCC, __alignof__ (double) and __alignof__
+ (long long) are 8, whereas alignof (double) and alignof (long long)
+ are 4 unless the option '-malign-double' is used.
+
+ The result cannot be used as a value for an 'enum' constant, if you
+ want to be portable to HP-UX 10.20 cc and AIX 3.2.5 xlc. */

+ to the alignment A, where A is an integer constant expression. For
+ example:
+
+ int alignas (8) foo;
+ struct s { int a; int alignas (8) bar; };
+
+ aligns the address of FOO and the offset of BAR to be multiples of 8.
+
+ A should be a power of two that is at least the type's alignment
+ and at most the implementation's alignment limit. This limit is
+ 2**28 on typical GNUish hosts, and 2**13 on MSVC. To be portable
+ to MSVC through at least version 10.0, A should be an integer
+ constant, as MSVC does not support expressions such as 1 << 3.
+ To be portable to Sun C 5.11, do not align auto variables to
+ anything stricter than their default alignment.
+
+ The following C11 requirements are not supported here:
+
+ - If A is zero, alignas has no effect.
+ - alignas can be used multiple times; the strictest one wins.
+ - alignas (TYPE) is equivalent to alignas (alignof (TYPE)).
