I don't think so. Memory provided by new, f.i., is never returned aligned one. Quite to the contrary, *missing* a knowledge of the internal impl details, you are supposed to pass to the string object an allocator returning memory maximally aligned (like the default one does!) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19495
