        <div>
        <pre>struct Foo {
  unsigned long x;
};

void foo(__unaligned struct Foo* out){
  out->x = 5;
}

Emits this in C (which is the expected behaviour)

%struct.Foo = type { i64 }

define dso_local void @foo(%struct.Foo* nocapture %0) local_unnamed_addr #0 {
  %2 = getelementptr inbounds %struct.Foo, %struct.Foo* %0, i64 0, i32 0
  store i64 5, i64* %2, align 1, !tbaa !2
  ret void
}

but this in C++ which does not honour the qualifier

%struct.Foo = type { i64 }

define dso_local void @_Z3fooPU11__unaligned3Foo(%struct.Foo* nocapture %0)
local_unnamed_addr #0 {
  %2 = getelementptr inbounds %struct.Foo, %struct.Foo* %0, i64 0, i32 0
  store i64 5, i64* %2, align 8, !tbaa !2
  ret void
}

We want both languages agree. I suggest we bring the current behaviour in C to
C++.</pre>
