Speaking of the value returned by an allocation function, 6.7.5.5.2 [basic.stc.dynamic.allocation] paragraph 2 says,
The pointer returned shall be suitably aligned so that it can be converted to a pointer of any complete object type with a fundamental alignment requirement
However, the various “Effects” specifications in 17.6.3 [new.delete] have a different formulation:
...allocate size bytes of storage suitably aligned to represent any object of that size.
These should be reconciled.
Rationale (November, 2016):
The adoption of paper P0035R4 has rendered this issue moot.
