I ran into a strange situation that alignof(m512) is not equal to std::alignment_of<m512>::value compiled by Apple's clang. After some testing I found that when alignof(T) is evaluated inside a template with T=m512, the result is different with direct alignof(m512).
I also ran several test compiled by g++ and non-Apple's clang on ubuntu(WSL) and got correct(I thought) behavior.
Is this a bug of Apple's clang?
