This is a dup of pr15795. Basically, operator new is just a wrapper around malloc from the libc, and malloc returns an allocation with a fixed alignment (8 for x86 and 16 for x86_64 in the case of glibc.) There is no way to communicate any alignment requirement to malloc(), so you'd have to override operator new to use posix_memalign() or something in this case. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38455
