Wat?
You're asking for mandatory aligment tests by the user but also claim that such tests are not reliably doable by the implementation?
Now, you see me puzzled...

@DanielaKEngert@hachyderm.io @andreasfertig@mas.to You missed "statically". If the compiler cannot tell me at compile-time that the code is wrong, it is rather useless. All you are suggesting is trading Undefined Behaviour for assertion failure. Both result in a Denial-Of-Service vulnerability due to a memory bug. Both are bugs I need to fix. Run-time hardening of the standard library cannot help here. P3100 cannot help here.
