Defined in header <type_traits>
template< std::size_t Len, class... Types >
struct aligned_union;
(since C++11)

Provides the member typedef type, which is a POD type of a size and alignment suitable for use as uninitialized storage for an object of any of the types listed in Types. The size of the storage is at least Len. std::aligned_union also determines the strictest (largest) alignment requirement among all Types and makes it available as the constant alignment_value.
