template< std::size_t Len, class... Types >
struct aligned_union; |
(since C++11) | |
Provides the member typedef type
, which is a POD type of a size and alignment suitable for use as uninitialized storage for an object of any of the types listed in Types
. The size of the storage is at least Len
. std::aligned_union also determines the strictest (largest) alignment requirement among all Types
and makes it available as the constant alignment_value
.

the strictest alignment requirement of all Types (public static member constant) |
[edit] Possible implementation
#include <algorithm> template <std::size_t Len, class... Types> struct aligned_union { static constexpr std::size_t alignment_value = std::max({alignof(Types)...}); struct type { alignas(alignment_value) char _s[std::max({Len, sizeof(Types)...})]; }; }; |
