>Organization:
The AlignedBSD Kernelation
>Environment:
>Description:
The alignof macro, which was introduced in C11, is defined in the <stdalign.h> header file, which is not available in the kernel build environment.

Instead, kernel code has to use the ugly _Alignof builtin.
>How-To-Repeat:
reach for alignof, stub toe on the sharp edge of _Alignof
>Fix:
Yes, please!

Maybe add sys/stdalign.h?
