This code only tests for location aliasing, so it only fails if
something else uses that location.

The component layout qualifier is forbidden on structs and is correctly
 detected at compile time. I've just tested it and get this errors:

"error: component layout qualifier cannot be applied to a matrix, a
structure, a block, or an array containing any of these."
