I have found is 3.9/5, but it does not seems to be definitive).
Think about multiple virtual inheritance!
If eventually it is (personally, I do not think so), how is e.g.
placement operator new expected to work ?

#include <new>
struct A {};
struct B1 : public virtual A {};
struct B2 : public virtual A {};
struct C : public B1, public B2 {};
unsigned char mem_for_B1[sizeof(B1)];
unsigned char mem_for_C[sizeof(C)];
int main()
{
// hoping the unsigned char arrays are well aligned...
B1* b1 = new(mem_for_B1) B1;
C* c = new(mem_for_C) C;
return 0;
}

I don't think there is something special concerning placement new
since you can use it only to construct ***complete objects***
which always occupy a continuous memory zone (even if the B1 or
B1 subobjects within a C object doesn't).
