+ stdalign: port better to MSVC and to Sun C 5.11
+ I think these problems were reported by Bruno Haible, in email
+ that I've unfortunately misplaced.
+ * doc/posix-headers/stdalign.texi (stdalign.h): Document more
+ shortcomings of MSVC and of Sun C 5.11.
+ * lib/stdalign.in.h (_Alignas): Omit bogus extra parenthesis
+ around __declspec arg.
+ * modules/stdalign-tests (Files): Add tests/macros.h.
+ * tests/test-stdalign.c: Do not include <stdlib.h>; no longer needed.
+ Include macros.h, for ASSERT.
+ (DECLARE_ALIGNED): Remove.
+ (TEST_ALIGNMENT): Define to 16 if alignment is supported (more likely
+ to catch bug), and to 1 if not (simplifies the rest of the code).
+ (CHECK_STATIC): Always declare the alignment test vars; that's simpler.
+ (CHECK_AUTO): Remove.
+ (CHECK_ALIGNED): Check only the alignment of the static vars,
+ since auto var alignment isn't supported by Sun C 5.11.
+ (CHECK_TYPES): Remove. All uses replaced by inline code, so that
+ ASSERT failures are easier to diagnose.

@item
+Some compilers do not support alignment via
+@code{alignas}/@code{_Alignas} of @code{auto} variables (i.e.,
+variables on the stack). They diagnose and ignore the alignment: Sun
+C 5.11.
+@item
+Some compilers require the operand of @code{_Alignas}/@code{alignas}
+to be a single integer constant, not an expression: MSVC 7.0 through
+at least 10.0.
+@item
+The Sun C 5.11 compiler sometimes mishandles the alignment of multiple
+external variables that are declared close together with
+@code{_Alignas}/@code{alignas}. This compiler bug causes the Gnulib
+module @code{stdalign-tests} to fail.
+@item
@code{<stdalign.h>} must be #included before @samp{_Alignas} and
@samp{_Alignof} can be used.
