The only people who write code like that have plenty of time to understand those questions - and why the correct answer is what it is is critically important to that line of code working correctly. The vast majority of us would never write a line like that - we let the compiler care about those details. the vast majority of the time 'just use vector' is the right answer that has zero real world exceptions. but in the rare case you need code like that be glad C++ has you covered |

I strongly disagree. alignof(buf) works correctly but is a GCC extension. alignof(decltype(buf)) is 1, because alignas is a giant kludge instead of a reasonable feature. C++ only barely has me covered here.
