I suspect this would have been more acceptable if it didn't use the HIDEOUS new [[gnu::aligned(8)]] syntax. Who thought that incredibly ugly crap looks good? It might not stand out much in C++, but what is this double colon thing doing in C?

I dunno why it used the non-standard gnu attribute in syntax that's only valid since C23, instead of the standard (since C11) `alignas(8)`, anyhow...
