Again based on your description even if we go with putting "tolerance" on the
type should not work because in "typedef int tolerant_int
__attribute__((aligned(1)));" the "int" default alignment is 4 and we apply
"1", so according to "The @code{aligned} attribute specifies a MINIMUM
alignment for the variable or structure field, measured in bytes." the compiler
should use the MAX of all alignments of the type MAX(4,1) is 4 and not 1.
So
typedef int int_1 __attribute__((aligned(1)));
typedef int_1 int_2 __attribute__((aligned(2)));
typedef int_2 int_4 __attribute__((aligned(4)));
typedef int_4 int_8 __attribute__((aligned(8)));
typedef int_8 int_16 __attribute__((aligned(16)));
int_16 a;
Then a should get aligned on 16 and not on 1.
