>Description:
The following code generates different sizes for the two types test1 and tes2 (12 for test1 and 16 for test2):

#include <stdio.h>

typedef unsigned long long UInt64;

typedef struct {
    int     a;
    UInt64  l;
} test1;

typedef struct {
    int     a;
    UInt64  l __attribute__((aligned(8)));
} test2;

int main(void)
{
    printf("%d %d\n", sizeof(test1), sizeof(test2));
    printf("%d %d %d\n", __alignof(test1), __alignof(test2), __alignof(UInt64));
}

Since the alignment of UInt64 seems to be 8 bytes I would also expect type test1 to be of the size 16 (and have the alignment 8).
>How-To-Repeat:
compile the code: e.g. gcc test.c
run the resulting a.out and the result is:
12 16
4 8 8
