Bug ID: 71566 Summary: Attribute [[aligned(16)]] on function is ignored Product: gcc Version: 6.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: milasudril at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- g++ does not accept [[aligned(16)]] as attribute on a function. However, the non-standard notation works. Example: #include <cstdio> __attribute__((aligned(16))) int test(int x) { printf("Address of test: %p\n",test); return 0; } [[aligned(16)]] int test2(int x) { printf("Address of test2: %p\n",test2); return 0; } int main() { test(0); test2(0); return 0; } g++ --version && g++ -std=c++14 -Wall main.cpp && ./a.out g++ (GCC) 6.1.0 Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
