From 321f4fa9067185aa6bb47403dfba46e8cfe917d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 17:20:14 -0400 Subject: add max_align_t definition for C11 and C++11 unfortunately this needs to be able to vary by arch, because of a huge mess GCC made: the GCC definition, which became the ABI, depends on quirks in GCC's definition of __alignof__, which does not match the formal alignment of the type. GCC's __alignof__ unexpectedly exposes the an implementation detail, its "preferred alignment" for the type, rather than the formal/ABI alignment of the type, which it only actually uses in structures. on most archs the two values are the same, but on some (at least i386) the preferred alignment is greater than the ABI alignment. I considered using _Alignas(8) unconditionally, but on at least one arch (or1k), the alignment of max_align_t with GCC's definition is only 4 (even the "preferred alignment" for these types is only 4). --- arch/or1k/bits/alltypes.h.in | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/or1k') diff --git a/arch/or1k/bits/alltypes.h.in b/arch/or1k/bits/alltypes.h.in index 0d750cc8..183c4c41 100644 --- a/arch/or1k/bits/alltypes.h.in +++ b/arch/or1k/bits/alltypes.h.in @@ -13,6 +13,8 @@ TYPEDEF unsigned wint_t; TYPEDEF float float_t; TYPEDEF double double_t; +TYPEDEF struct { long long __ll; long double __ld; } max_align_t; + TYPEDEF long time_t; TYPEDEF long suseconds_t; -- cgit 1.4.1
