Ouch.

[mark@lakrids:~]% cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>

#define PRINT_TYPE_INFO(t) \
printf("%10s %5d %5d\n", #t, sizeof(t), __alignof__(t))

struct ull {
unsigned long long v;
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("%10s %5s %5s\n", "TYPE", "SIZE", "ALIGN");
PRINT_TYPE_INFO(int);
PRINT_TYPE_INFO(long);
PRINT_TYPE_INFO(long long);
PRINT_TYPE_INFO(struct ull);

return 0;
}
[mark@lakrids:~]% gcc -m32 test.c -o test
[mark@lakrids:~]% ./test
TYPE SIZE ALIGN
int 4 4
long 4 4
long long 8 8
struct ull 8 4

Mark.
