Alignment of m_space must be appropriate for the alignment of F. I think this can be addressed by putting m_space in a union with a value whose type is the result of boost::type_with_alignment::type.

char m_space[sizeof(F)]; is going to be aligned properly automatically

I don't see how. See analogous discussion recently on boost developers list under subject "alignment problem in proposed any alternative", in particular the message from Martin Bonner on 8/11/05: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/2772775 Otherwise, what would be the point of boost::aligned_storage (which actually packages up the union idiom I was suggesting be used)?
