Issue ID: 17849
Summary: Documentation of align is incorrect
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dlang.org
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: hello at petervaro.com
The documentation of the https://dlang.org/spec/iasm.html#align keyword is
incorrect. It is suggesting here:
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/blob/master/spec/iasm.dd#L74, that this
should be the correct way of using it:
```
struct S
{
align 64 ubyte b;
}
```
instead of the one, that can actually be compiled:
```
struct S
{
align(64) ubyte b;
}
```
Therefore further action is required:
- If the documented usage is the desired one, then this is a different issue,
and that behaviour needs to be implemented.
- If the keyword requires parenthesis, then the documentation should be updated
according to that.
