[Bug c/16786] New: alignment incorrect on a structure field, on win32

[antoine_labour at playstation dot sony dot com]

There seems to be a problem with alignment on win32 targets (cygwin, mingw).
I use gcc 3.3.1, either the one in cygwin :
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/specs
Configured with: /GCC/gcc-3.3.1-3/configure --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld
--with-gnu-as --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,f77,pascal,java,objc
--enable-libgcj --enable-threads=posix --with-system-zlib --enable-nls
--without-included-gettext --enable-interpreter --enable-sjlj-exceptions
--disable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-shared --disable-win32-registry
--enable-java-gc=boehm --disable-hash-synchronization --verbose
--target=i686-pc-cygwin --host=i686-pc-cygwin --build=i686-pc-cygwin
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.1 (cygming special)

or the linux->win32 cross compiler in debian:
$ i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mingw32msvc/3.3.1/specs
Configured with:
/home/ron/devel/debian/mingw32/mingw32-3.3.1.20030804.1/build_dir/src/gcc-3.3.1-20030804-1/configure
-v --prefix=/usr --target=i586-mingw32msvc --enable-languages=c,c++
--enable-threads --disable-multilib --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs
Thread model: win32
gcc version 3.3.1 (mingw special 20030804-1)


The compiler seems to ignore alignment requirement on struct fields which are
declared with a type having some alignment requirement set with the align attribute:

typedef struct
{
	int a;
} __attribute__((aligned (16))) A;

typedef struct
{
	int b;
	A a;
} B;

B.a seems to be aligned on a 8-byte boundary, whereas it should be on a 16-byte
boundary. The size seems correct though.
See attached file for test case.
To compile, I used:
$ gcc prog.i -o prog.exe -Wall

It gives no warning.

Its output is the following:
$ ./prog.exe
offsetof(B,a)=0x8
sizeof(A)=0x10
sizeof(B)=0x18
alignof(A)=10
alignof(B)=8


I can see the correct behaviour with linux i386 gcc, both 3.3.4 and 3.2.3
$ gcc -v

alignof(B)=10

The testcase also fails on gcc-3.3.3 on mingw.

It gives correct results on 3.4.1 and trunk (20040726) on mingw

offsetof(B,a)=0x10
sizeof(A)=0x10
sizeof(B)=0x20
alignof(A)=10
alignof(B)=10

Is this a regression? Since, from your messages it appears 
as if it has been fixed in 3.4, and that it won't be fixed in 3.3.x any more 
unless there's a really easy fix.
