--- Comment #3 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- This unfortunately needs to be changed in the C++ standard, as long as the operator new functions/methods that must be used and user can override with their versions don't take the alignment as some parameter, there is no way to find the alignment info and call say posix_memalign or memalign instead of malloc under the hood. And, increasing the guaranteed alignment of malloc or even just operator new unconditionally to the highest possible alignment of any vector (right now 64-bytes for Skylake) would waste lots of memory for the common case of programs that don't really need it.
