It's related to a known difficulty with alignment and inheritance, and other languages are affected by variant of it, see e.g. PR c++/37798. > You remember, when I removed the TYPE_ALIGN_OK handing (initially it wasn't > clear to me that it's entire use is only to make Ada happy), all Ada tests > continued to pass, even on ARM.

You can probably browse the 2004 archives and find one (or a sketch of one); that being said, gigi was a bit changed since then so this could as well be obsolete. -- Eric Botcazou
