> C++11 added the alignas attribute, for the purpose of specifying alignment on types, much like compiler specific syntax such as gcc's __attribute__((aligned(x))) or Visual C++'s __declspec(align(x)).
>
> We can phase out the use of the macro in favor of the standard attribute. In the meantime, we can replace the compiler specific definitions of ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED with a portable definition. We might deprecate the use of the macro but changing its implementation quickly and cleanly applies the feature where the macro is being used.
>
> Note: With certain parts of HotSpot using ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED so indiscriminately, this commit will likely take some time to get right
>
> This will require adding the alignas attribute to the list of language features approved for use in HotSpot code. (Completed with [8297912](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/11446))
