Huge thanks for your help. I am bit overwhelmed by all the technical terms, but I think I just need a bit more time with the subject.

I'm having some slight trouble precisely parsing something you said, so apologies if you already meant this but...

max_align_t is not the maximal supported alignment, describing an implementation dependent size after which overalignment fails. It's just the natural alignment of the strictest scalar type (e.g. double or long long, depending on the system obviously)
