Warning

Symbols prefixed with either RBIMPL or rbimpl are implementation details. Don't take them as canon. They could rapidly appear then vanish. The name (path) of this header file is also an implementation detail. Do not expect it to persist at the place it is now. Developers are free to move it anywhere anytime at will.

Note

To ruby-core: remember that this header can be possibly recursively included from extension libraries written in C++. Do not expect for instance __VA_ARGS__ is always available. We assume C99 for ruby itself but we don't assume languages of extension libraries. They could be written in C++98.

Macro Definition Documentation

RUBY_ALIGNAS

#define RUBY_ALIGNAS   RBIMPL_ALIGNAS

Wraps (or simulates) alignas.

This is C++11's alignas and is different from C11 _Alignas. For instance,

typedef struct alignas(128) foo { int foo } foo;

is a valid C++ while

typedef struct _Alignas(128) foo { int foo } foo;

is an invalid C because:

• You cannot struct _Alignas.
• A typedef cannot have alignments.

RUBY_ALIGNOF

#define RUBY_ALIGNOF   RBIMPL_ALIGNOF

Wraps (or simulates) alignof.

We want C11's _Alignof. However in spite of its clear language, compilers (including GCC and clang) tend to have buggy implementations. We have to avoid such things to resort to our own version.
