 | State-Changed-Why:
 |     I can see this as well, but I imagine the syntax is wrong:
 |     shouldn't it be
 |         typedef struct { } __attribute__((__aligned__(__alignof__(int)))) Y;
 |     
 |     instead of
 |     
 |         typedef struct { } Y __attribute__((__aligned__(__alignof__(int))));
 |     
 |     ??
 
 Maybe.  But then, I think __alignof__(Y) should return
 __alignof__(int) if the attribute is being applied to Y.
 
 Said differently, what do you envision for the "right" syntax for
 
    typedef unsigned char type[sizeof(int)] 
              __attribute__((__aligned__(__alignof__(int))));
 
 ?
