Hello,

This patch adds new machine specific option -malign-data={word,abi} to RISC-V port. The option switches alignment of global variables and constants of array/record/union types. The default value (-malign-data=word) keeps existing way of alignment computation. Another option value (-malign-data=abi) makes data natural alignment. It avoids extra spaces between data to reduce code size. The measured code size reduction is about 0.4% at -Os on EEMBC automotive 1.1 tests and SPEC2006 C/C++ benchmarks. The patch was tested in riscv-gnu-toolchain by dejagnu.

Please check the patch into the trunk.

Best regards,
Ilia.

gcc/
        * config/riscv/riscv-opts.h (struct riscv_align_data): Added.
* config/riscv/riscv.c (riscv_constant_alignment): Use riscv_align_data_type.
        * config/riscv/riscv.h (DATA_ALIGNMENT): Use riscv_align_data_type.
        (LOCAL_ALIGNMENT): Set to old DATA_ALIGNMENT value.
        * config/riscv/riscv.opt (malign-data): New.
        * doc/invoke.texi (RISC-V Options): Document -malign-data=.
