[v5,02/39] eal: redefine macro to be integer literal for MSVC

  MSVC __declspec(align(#)) is limited and accepts only integer literals
as opposed to constant expressions. define XMM_SIZE to be 16 instead of
sizeof(xmm_t) and static_assert that sizeof(xmm_t) == 16 for
compatibility.

I think it is better be:
static_assert(sizeof(xmm_t) == XMM_SIZE, "");


BTW, is there any chance that in future versions MSVC would accept align(<constant_expression>)?

ack, will fix

it does seem an oversight. i will ask the msvc team if they would like to enhance it.

thanks
