...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

Some low level memory management routines need to synthesize a POD type with
specific alignment properties. The template type_with_alignment
finds the smallest type with a specified alignment, while template aligned_storage
creates a type with a specific size and alignment.
Synopsis
template <std::size_t Align> struct type_with_alignment; template <std::size_t Size, std::size_t Align> struct aligned_storage;
