[issue27987] obmalloc's 8-byte alignment causes undefined behavior

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at gmail.com> added the comment:

alignment.patch: +    long double dummy;  /* force worst-case alignment */

Would it be possible to use max_align_t mentioned by Stefan, at least when this type is available?

What is the impact of the patch on objects size?
