Specify alignment for string literal.



Hi all,


Is there any way to specify the alignment of a literal, with __attribute__
((align ...))


That is to say:

/* wchar_t is 16 bits and 2 byte aligned on this
  platform; I want 4 byte alignment */

wchar_t *foo = L"...";

The attribute has to go on the literal object, not on foo, obviously.

If there is such a feature, it's not obviously documented in the
manual.

I have other ways of solving the problem I'm working on, but this
would be ideal.
