[basic.align] p1 says:

An object type imposes an alignment requirement on every object of that type;

[class.bit] p1 says:

Alignment of bit-fields is implementation-defined.

Consider this example:

struct A{
 char a: 2;
 int b:3
};

[basic.align] p1 says the alignment requirement of int imposes on every object, including the bit-field. However, [class.bit] p1 says the alignment of A::b is implementation-defined. So, is the alignment of A::b a union of them, or just is implementation defined?

Suggested Resolution:

An object type imposes an alignment requirement on every object of that type other than bit-field;
