Preserve derived alignment when promoting a base

In non-IA-64 Microsoft mode with pack(1), struct alignas(16) B { char c; }; struct D : B { char d; }; promotes B’s members into D. The generated C type for D has alignment 1 instead of 16, so its objects can be underaligned and incompatible with the front-end layout.

Emit the required alignment on the enclosing C type when promotion removes the base type’s alignment.

Review comment at @src/lower_il.c around lines 1188 - 1196:
When base-class members are promoted, preserve the base type’s required
alignment on the enclosing generated C type if promotion would otherwise remove
it. Update the tail-padding promotion logic around
class_subobject_with_tail_padding to handle the non-IA-64 Microsoft pack(1)
case, keeping the generated layout compatible with the front-end alignment.

Maybe track down which change enabled the IA-64 ABI behavior and refer to that?

+C-generating back end: support for tail-padding reuse
+
+The IA64 ABI requires in some cases that derived class members be allocated
+in the tail padding of base class subobjects, but the C-generating back end
+was unable to support tail-padding reuse and thus did not comply with this
+requirement.  This limitation has now been lifted, and the default setting
+for TARG_REUSE_TAIL_PADDING has been changed to TRUE for C-generating back
+end configurations with IA64_ABI set to TRUE.  In this configuration, the
+members of base classes with reusable tail padding are "promoted" into the
+derived class in the generated C code and member access expressions
+designating such promoted members are adjusted accordingly.  The previous
+class layout in the generated code can be retained by explicitly setting
+TARG_REUSE_TAIL_PADDING to FALSE.

It seems from this commit it was intentional to tail-padding reuse only for IA64-ABI.

Then this commit adjusted the front end layout calculation:

+Microsoft compatibility: Size of base class with explicitly-specified alignment
+
+Consider:
+
+  struct B {
+    alignas(16) int i;
+  };
+  struct D : B {
+    int j;
+  };
+
+When calculating the size of a base class, MSVC ignores explicitly-specified
+alignment requirements that are more strict than platform-specific defaults.
+On ARM64 platforms, that default is 8 bytes, and thus the sizes of both B and D
+are 16 bytes in the example above.  The front end now emulates this bug in
+Microsoft mode.

It seems like this may have manifested for IA64 ABI as a result of an (accidental?) combination of these two.

For Cfront ABI, yeah. Looks good to me.


In front ends configured with IA64_ABI set to FALSE, IL lowering did not
account for the padding at the end of a base class subobject. In Microsoft
mode, a base class whose alignment is stricter than the platform default
can occupy less space as a base class subobject than its full size, so
later members of the derived class are allocated in what would otherwise be
its tail padding. IL lowering nonetheless emitted such a base class as a
field of the complete base class type, so the C compiler placed the derived
class members at larger offsets than the front end had computed (e.g., than
those used for sizeof and offsetof). Such a base class is now
lowered to a type-as-subobject whose members are emitted inline, as is done
for IA-64 ABI configurations. For example, with --ms_c++20:

struct B { alignas(16) char arr[2]; };
struct D : B { char d; }; // d is at offset 8.
void f(D *p) { p->d = 'x'; } // Previously accessed offset 16.
