The example in 17.6.3.4 [new.delete.placement] reads:
[Example: This can be useful for constructing
an object at a known address:
char place[sizeof(Something)];
Something* p = new (place) Something();
—end example]
This example has potential alignment problems. One way to correct it would
be to change the definition of place to read:
char* place = new char[sizeof(Something)];
Rationale (10/99): This is an issue for the Library Working Group.
