std::max_align_t(3)	       C++ Standard Libary	     std::max_align_t(3)

NAME
     std::max_align_t - std::max_align_t

Synopsis
	Defined in header <cstddef>
	typedef /*implementation-defined*/ max_align_t;  (since C++11)

	std::max_align_t  is  a trivial standard-layout type whose alignment re-
     quirement is at
	least as strict (as large) as that of every scalar type.

Notes
	Pointers returned by allocation functions such as std::malloc are  suit-
     ably aligned
	for any object, which means they are aligned at least as strictly as
	std::max_align_t.

Example
     // Run this code

      #include <cstddef>
      #include <iostream>

      int main()
      {
	  std::cout << alignof(std::max_align_t) << '\n';
      }

Possible output:
      16
