This header was originally in the C standard library as <stdalign.h>.

C compatibility header. alignas and alignof are keywords in C++, but they were not keywords in C until C23.

Macros

__alignas_is_defined
(C++11)(deprecated)
C compatibility macro constant, expands to integer literal 1
(macro constant) [edit]
__alignof_is_defined
(C++11)(deprecated)
C compatibility macro constant, expands to integer literal 1
(macro constant) [edit]

[edit] Notes

<cstdalign> is deprecated in C++17 and removed in C++20. Corresponding <stdalign.h> is still available in C++20.

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
