             Bug #: 54955

           Summary: alignas example in gcc 4.8 changes.html won't compile

    Classification: Unclassified

           Product: gcc

           Version: unknown

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Severity: normal

          Priority: P3

         Component: c++

        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org

        ReportedBy: mib.bugzi...@gmail.com





gcc 4.8 changes.html file gives this example:

alignas(double) int i;



But the snapshot from Oct 14 2012 gives this message:

g++ -c -std=c++11 alignas.cpp

alignas.cpp:1:1: error: expected unqualified-id before 'alignas'

 alignas(double) int f;

 ^



If alignas is moved to the end of the declaration it compiles okay:

int f alignas(double);



doc error?



Could you also confirm whether c++11 keyword alignas is the same as c1x

_Alignas?



Thanks and regards
