OK, lets take this a step at a time:

1) You didn't need to change anything, the whole point was that no existing 
code should break.
2) The code you posted above should non-the-less compile.  Are you using the 
latest cvs?  The error message also looks strange: 'MyClass' is not a member 
of aligned_storage after all!  Can you double check there are no obvious 
typos in your code? Can you check that the latest aligned_storage_test.cpp 
in libs/type_traits/test compiles for you?  And if all else fails mail me a 
test case and I'll look into it.

HTH,

John.
