38 Note that this is not necessarily the same as alignof_slot(type).
39 For example, with GNU C on x86 platforms: alignof_type(double) = 8, but
40 - when -malign-double is not specified: alignof_slot(double) = 4,
41 - when -malign-double is specified: alignof_slot(double) = 8.
42 Note: The result cannot be used as a value for an 'enum' constant,
43 due to bugs in HP-UX 10.20 cc and AIX 3.2.5 xlc. */
