Comment (by Christian Maaser <runningwithscythes@…>):

 C++17 will probably introduce
 [http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/c/aligned_alloc], but until then
 this sounds like a good solution to me. Generally I think the benefits of
 fixedsize_stack over protected_fixedsize_stack are virtually non-existent,
 because the additional guard page does not require any actual memory
 allocation but only an address space allocation and reliably protects
 against stack overflows (utilizing _chkstk).
