std::align_val_t - cppreference.com

From cppreference.com

Defined in header

<new>

enumclassalign_val_t:std::size_t{};(since C++17)Both

new-expression

and

delete-expression

, when used with objects whose alignment requirement is greater than __STDCPP_DEFAULT_NEW_ALIGNMENT__, pass that alignment requirement as an argument of type std::align_val_t to the selected allocation/deallocation function.

Notes

Alignment (as obtained by alignof) has the type

std::size_t

, but placement forms of allocation and deallocation functions that take

std::size_t

as an additional parameter are already in use, so this type is used instead.
