text: Subject: [boost] boost::aligned_storage broken on VC12 for alignment values of 8

  Very surprising, but easily reproducible with VC12 (2013), Release or
  Debug configuration, Win32 platform: the following program will often*
  throw:
  #include <boost/type_traits/aligned_storage.hpp>
  #include <cstdint>
  int main()
  {
  boost::aligned_storage<8, 8>::type a;
  if (((std::uintptr_t)&a % 8) != 0) {
  throw 1;
  }
  }
  * Four of every five times it failed because the storage was only
  4-byte aligned, not 8-byte aligned.
  Does not reproduce for x64 builds, just x86 builds. Does not reproduce
  with alignment values other than 8.
