You are now passing 'true' to ix86_local_alignment for all callers,
that's not correct.
I said at most STACK_SLOT_ALIGNMENT _might_ be able to take the lower alignment
but some callers look suspicious so I wasn't sure.
Which means - please pass false for LOCAL_ALIGNMENT, STACK_SLOT_ALIGNMENT
and LOCAL_DECL_ALIGNMENT.
+ /* Lower local decl alignment. */
+
+ if (VAR_P (decl)
+ && !is_global_var (decl)
+ && !DECL_HARD_REGISTER (decl))
+ targetm.lower_local_decl_alignment (decl);
the comment is quite useless, just repeating what the code does.
Please rephrase it
as
/* This is the last point we can lower alignment so give the target the
chance to do so. */
and remove the vertical space after the comment.
OK with those changes.
