 I have no idea what you are talking about.

std::vector actually respects alignas, on MSVC at least. I did not know this worked until I tried it. Iirc, Bonita was the one that sparked my test. It aligned itself on the proper boundaries. Very nice.

But did you notice that this is c.l.c, not c.l.c++, and the topic is C23, not C++23 ?  Discussing comparisons or compatibility with C++ is fair enough, but talking about pure C++ matters (such as std::vector<>) is unlikely to be helpful.

C has it as well... Very useful!
