[PATCH v3] c: Extend the -Wpadded message with actual padding size

[Vit Kabele]

Hello,

after further discussion I changed the ! default_packed to attribute
aligned, so that the test passes also on targets where 4 bytes types are
aligned on 2 byte boundaries.

Best regards,
Vit Kabele

Subject: [PATCH v3] c: Extend the -Wpadded message with actual padding size

When the compiler warns about padding struct to alignment boundary, it
now also informs the user about the size of the alignment that needs to
be added to get rid of the warning.

This removes the need of using pahole or similar tools, or manually
determining the padding size.

Tested for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and cris-elf targets.

gcc/ChangeLog:

        * stor-layout.cc (finalize_record_size): Extend warning message.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * c-c++-common/Wpadded.c: New test.
