I read this When should I worry about alignment? but I am still do not know if I have to worry about not aligned pointer returned by placement new operator - like in this example: class A { public: long double a; long long b; A() : a(1.3), b(1234) {} }; char buffer[64]; int main() { // (buffer + 1) used intentionally to have wrong alignment A* a = new (buffer + 1) A(); a->~A(); } __alignof(A) == 4 , (buffer + 1) is not aligned to 4 . But everything works fine - full example here: http://ideone.com/jBrk8 If this depends on architecture then I am using: linux/powerpc/g++ 4.x.x. [UPDATE] Just

Since Apple only ships SDK 10.6 with Xcode4, developing PPC applications with Xcode4 became impossible. While it is possible to develop applications with Xcode4 that can also run on 10.5 and maybe even on 10.4 systems (by selecting SDK 10.6, but deployment target 10.5 or 10.4), they will only run on Intel Macs because you need at least SDK 10.5 for building PPC applications. Further there are some rare cases, where you really need to build against an SDK prior to 10.6 for full platform support, e.g. if certain deprecated functionality has vanished completely from the 10.6 SDK, but you'll have
