I think we should calculate the alignment using something like this?

template <class T>
constexpr size_t calc_alignment() {
    size_t align = alignof(T);
    while (align <= alignof(max_align_t)) {
        if (__atomic_always_lock_free(sizeof(T), align))
            return align;
        align *= 2;
    }
    return alignof(T);
}

I really like this, I think this directly translates to what we are actually trying to achieve (which is to calculate the smallest alignment that allows us to be lockfree).

That is not a valid implementation, because it causes the ABI of the type to change depending on the microarchitecture selection.

TIL


// The __atomic_always_lock_free builtin takes into account the alignment of the pointer if provided,
// so we create a fake pointer with a suitable alignment when querying it. Note that we are guaranteed
