================
Comment at: clang/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenFunction.cpp:176
   CharUnits Alignment;
-  if (T->isIncompleteType()) {
+  if (T->getBaseElementTypeUnsafe()->isIncompleteType()) {
     Alignment = CharUnits::One(); // Shouldn't be used, but pessimistic is best.

I can't think of any way to observe the alignment computed by getNaturalTypeAlignment for an incomplete class. We usually only use the alignment computed by getNaturalTypeAlignment() to set the alignment of memory operations, and you can't do any memory operations with an incomplete class.

But the result might be easier to read, in any case.
