testsuite: Add new target check for no_alignment_constraints
A few testcases were marked for avr target, which has no alignment requirements. But those tests in fact should filter for any target having __BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT__=1. A new effective target check is introduced: no_alignment_constraints. It checks whether __BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT__ is declared as 1. This change fixes the testsuite cases for PRU target. It was regression-tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. The following two existing macros were considered, but they check for subtly different target behaviour: 1. non_strict_align If true, non-aligned access is permitted. But it also allows variables to be naturally aligned, which is not true for no_alignment_constraints. 2. default_packed Whether structures are packed by default is not necessarily the same as lacking constraints for non-aggregate types. For example, BIGGEST_FIELD_ALIGNMENT or ADJUST_FIELD_ALIGN could be defined for a target as something other than BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT. gcc/ChangeLog: * doc/sourcebuild.texi: Document new no_alignment_constraints effective target check. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * c-c++-common/Wcast-align.c: Silence warnings for targets with no_alignment_constraints. * gcc.dg/c11-align-4.c: Skip for no_alignment_constraints. * gcc.dg/strlenopt-10.c: Replace checks for avr with checks for any target with no_alignment_constraints. * gcc.dg/strlenopt-11.c: Ditto. * gcc.dg/strlenopt-13.c: Ditto. * lib/target-supports.exp (check_effective_target_no_alignment_constraints): New.
