(also the float array is unaligned).
Currently, it is 4 byte aligned. But the compiler could align freestanding static arrays on 16 bytes without breaking anything. It just cannot align:
struct S
{
int a;
float[4] b;
}
b on a 16 byte boundary, as that would break the ABI. Even worse,
struct S
{
int a;
char[16] s;
}
can't be aligned on 16 bytes as that is a common "small string optimization".
