attributes are not stored at right location for array variables

["Mitesh Shah" <mshah@xxxxxxxx>]

It seems that the attributes are not stored with the variable ctype when the variable is an array. For declaration such as,

char c[100] __attribute__((aligned(64)));

The attribute is stored with the array ctype instead of the variable C ctype.

In function direct_declarator in parse.c at line 920 the ctype gets replaced with the array ctype and in the next iteration it is
passed to handle_attributes. handle_attributes should be passed the original ctype so here is the patch.

Thanks,
