7.6.2 Alignment specifier [dcl.align]

When the alignment-specifier is of the form alignas( constant-expression ):

When multiple alignment-specifiers are specified for an entity, the alignment requirement shall be set to the strictest specified alignment.

The combined effect of all alignment-specifiers in a declaration shall not specify an alignment that is less strict than the alignment that would be required for the entity being declared if all alignment-specifiers were omitted (including those in other declarations).

If the defining declaration of an entity has an alignment-specifier, any non-defining declaration of that entity shall either specify equivalent alignment or have no alignment-specifier. Conversely, if any declaration of an entity has an alignment-specifier, every defining declaration of that entity shall specify an equivalent alignment. No diagnostic is required if declarations of an entity have different alignment-specifiers in different translation units.

Example:

struct S { int x; } s, p = &s;

struct alignas(16) S;           extern S* p;                    

 — end example ]

Example: An aligned buffer with an alignment requirement of A and holding N elements of type T other than char, signed char, or unsigned char can be declared as:

alignas(T) alignas(A) T buffer[N];

Specifying alignas(T) ensures that the final requested alignment will not be weaker than alignof(T), and therefore the program will not be ill-formed.  — end example ]

Example:

alignas(double) void f();                         alignas(double) unsigned char c[sizeof(double)];  extern unsigned char c[sizeof(double)];           alignas(float)
  extern unsigned char c[sizeof(double)];         

 — end example ]
