<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
The keyword <code class="constant">__attribute__</code> allows you to specify special attributes
of <code class="code">enum</code>, <code class="code">struct</code> and <code class="code">union</code> types when you
define such types. This keyword is followed by an attribute specification inside
double parentheses. Two attributes are currently defined for types: aligned, and packed.
</p>
<p>
You may specify type attributes in an <code class="code">enum</code>, <code class="code">struct</code>,
or <code class="code">union</code> type declaration or definition, or for other types in a
<code class="code">typedef</code> declaration.
</p>
<p>
For an <code class="code">enum</code>, <code class="code">struct</code>, or <code class="code">union</code> type, you
may specify attributes either between the <code class="code">enum</code>, <code class="code">struct</code>
or <code class="code">union</code> tag and the name of the type, or just past the closing curly
brace of the <span class="emphasis"><em>definition</em></span>. The former syntax is preferred.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect2">
<a id="aligned"></a>
<h3>aligned (<code class="varname">alignment</code>)</h3>
<p>
This attribute specifies a minimum alignment (in bytes) for variables of the specified
type. For example, the declarations:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table class="informaltable" border="0">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" class="col1" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left"> <code class="code">struct S { short f[3]; } __attribute__ ((aligned (8)));
typedef int more_aligned_int __attribute__ ((aligned (8)));</code></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
force the compiler to ensure (as far as it can) that each variable whose type is
<code class="code">struct S</code> or <code class="code">more_aligned_int</code> will be allocated and aligned
<span class="emphasis"><em>at least</em></span> on a 8-byte boundary.
</p>
<p>
Note that the alignment of any given <code class="code">struct</code> or <code class="code">union</code> type
is required by the ISO C standard to be at least a perfect multiple of the lowest
common multiple of the alignments of all of the members of the <code class="code">struct</code>
or <code class="code">union</code> in question and must also be a power of two. This means that
you <span class="emphasis"><em>can</em></span> effectively adjust the alignment of a <code class="code">struct</code>
or <code class="code">union</code> type by attaching an aligned attribute to any one of the members
of such a type, but the notation illustrated in the example above is a more obvious,
intuitive, and readable way to request the compiler to adjust the alignment of an entire
<code class="code">struct</code> or <code class="code">union</code> type.
</p>
<p>
As in the preceding example, you can explicitly specify the alignment (in bytes) that
you wish the compiler to use for a given <code class="code">struct</code> or <code class="code">union</code>
type. Alternatively, you can leave out the alignment factor and just ask the compiler
to align a type to the maximum useful alignment for the target machine you are compiling
for. For example, you could write:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table class="informaltable" border="0">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" class="col1" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left"> <code class="code">struct S { short f[3]; } __attribute__ ((aligned));</code></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Whenever you leave out the alignment factor in an <code class="code">aligned</code> attribute
specification, the compiler automatically sets the alignment for the type to the largest
alignment which is ever used for any data type on the target machine you are compiling
for. In the example above, the size of each <code class="code">short</code> is 2 bytes, and therefore
the size of the entire <code class="code">struct S</code> type is 6 bytes. The smallest power of two
which is greater than or equal to that is 8, so the compiler sets the alignment for the
entire <code class="code">struct S</code> type to 8 bytes.
</p>
<p>
Note that the effectiveness of aligned attributes may be limited by inherent limitations
of the OpenCL device and compiler. For some devices, the OpenCL compiler may only be
able to arrange for variables to be aligned up to a certain maximum alignment. If the
OpenCL compiler is only able to align variables up to a maximum of 8 byte alignment, then
specifying <code class="code">aligned(16)</code> in an <code class="code">__attribute__</code> will still only provide
you with 8 byte alignment. See your platform-specific documentation for further information.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="code">aligned</code> attribute can only increase the alignment; but you can decrease
it by specifying <code class="code">packed</code> as well. See below.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect2">
<a id="packed"></a>
<h3>packed</h3>
<p>
The <code class="constant">packed</code> attribute, attached to the <code class="code">struct</code>
or <code class="code">union</code> type definition, specifies that each member of the structure or
union is placed to minimize the memory required. When attached to an <code class="code">enum</code>
definition, it indicates that the smallest integral type should be used.
</p>
<p>
Specifying this attribute for <code class="code">struct</code> and <code class="code">union</code> types is equivalent
to specifying the <code class="code">packed</code> attribute on each of the structure or union members.
</p>
<p>
In the following example <code class="code">struct my_packed_struct</code>'s members are packed closely
together, but the internal layout of its <code class="code">s</code> member is not packed. To do that,
<code class="code">struct my_unpacked_struct</code> would need to be packed, too.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table class="informaltable" border="0">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" class="col1" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left"> <code class="code">struct my_unpacked_struct
{
char c; int i;
};
struct __attribute__ ((packed)) my_packed_struct
{
char c;
int i;
struct my_unpacked_struct s;
};</code></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
You may only specify this attribute on the definition of a <code class="code">enum</code>,
<code class="code">struct</code>, or <code class="code">union</code>, not on a <code class="code">typedef</code> which does not
also define the enumerated type, structure or union.
