Hi! As the testcase shows, _Alignof can sometimes return smaller number than the minimum alignment. That is because when laying out structures, fields with types with TYPE_USER_ALIGN set have also DECL_USER_ALIGN set and therefore neither BIGGEST_FIELD_ALIGNMENT nor ADJUST_FIELD_ALIGN is applied to them, but min_align_of_type was applying that unconditionally.
