To all the other encountering this issue: I was able to track down the issue. In general, alignment handling in clang is a mess. Yes, there are some values in the Target for alignment, but they dont't always do what one might think. They seem to be fine for char, int, long and float. For short, there is none, as short alignment is hardcoded to 16 bits. For long long and double there are alignment values, but they are not used. Instead the width is used as alignment: In ASTContext::getPreferredTypeAlign, unless the target is xcore, for double, long long and unsigned long long, the alignment of the type is replaced by the width. So, to make alignment for long long and double work, you need add a special case for your target in ASTContext::getPreferredTypeAlign like there already is for xcore. And to make alignment work for short, you need to make getShortAlign() virtual in TargetInfo and override it in your Target. Philipp P.S.: I am using clang 3.8, the above might or might not apply to other versions.
