           Summary: attribute aligned is documented as using bytes, uses
                    addressable units instead.
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: amyl...@gcc.gnu.org
            Blocks: 46489


attribute aligned - and also linked to that pragma align - are documented
as specifying an alignment in bytes.  However, the implementation uses
BITS_PER_UNIT, which could be 1 on a bit-addressed architecture, or
something largish like 16, 32 or 36 on a word-addressed architecture.
