C++20 introduced the [[no_unique_address]] attribute that can be used to annotate non-static data members. The attribute allows the compiler to optimize empty members marked with this attribute to take up no space.

The compiler should be smart enough to perform this (small) optimization automatically. There is no need to introduce another attribute in an already overly bloated programming language for such a small optimization.
