Such mood was always in the spec: "AlignAttribute is ignored when

I never saw that before. So it doesn't work for class members?

"The D compiler is free to rearrange the order of fields in a class to
optimally pack them in an implementation-defined manner. Consider the
fields much like the local variables in a function - the compiler
assigns some to registers and shuffles others around all to get the
optimal stack frame layout. This frees the code designer to organize the
fields in a manner that makes the code more readable rather than being
forced to organize it according to machine optimization rules. Explicit
control of field layout is provided by struct/union types, not classes."
And it
won't change the alignment of unions if applied to union members (by
changing the maximum alignment of the members)?
I'm not sure what you mean....
But there seem to be a few issues with the behaviour of align. I'll
have to investigate....
