FWIW, there is sound (IMO at least) alignment proposal for the std, so we may not need to worry anymore about this in the not so distant future.
I don't think that proposal gives us any more guarantees than we have today.
Oh.. I was refering to n1546.. Do you as well? I interpreted that the idea there is to be able to spell: char align_as<T> storage[sizeof(T)]; And let the compiler do the magic. Isn't that all we need? Or is that the proposal was rejected? Note for the curious: This article by Tom Lokovic, although totally unrelated to boost AFAICS, explains how boost::alignment_of<> works (because he proposes the same technique) http://www.monkeyspeak.com/alignment/ -- Fernando Cacciola SciSoft http://fcacciola.50webs.com/
