The strategy of "cleanup under-aligned buffers" is not scaling well. Corner cases are still turing up. The library has some corner-case breaks, like old 32-bit Intels. And it still has not solved the AltiVec and Power8 alignment problems.
For now we are backing out the changes and investigating other strategies
GCC117 is a Aarch64/ARM64 server with AMD's ARM chip and GCC 7.10. It looks like GCC is performing some std::string optimizations that generates a finding. We did not witness the finding on other platforms, like other Aarch64 devices and x86_64.
We will need to check if taking the address of element-0 is still approved way to get the non-const pointer to the elements

This reverts commit eb3b27a6a5. The change broke GCC 4.8 and unknown version of Clang on OS X. UB reported the OS X break, and JW found duplicated the break on a ARM CubieTruck with GCC 4.8.
They seemed to produce a hang when running self tests in AppVeyor.
Also use IsDebuggerPresent() to determine when we should call DebugBreak(). The OS killed our debug build when fuzzing caused an assert to fail
CRYPTOPP_COVERAGE was added at 9614307ab7 to increase code coverage support. This commit enables additional validation routines when CRYPTOPP_COVERAGE is in effect.
By default the member, named m_mark, is set to the maximum number of elements. If SetMark() is called, then m_mark is adjusted. Upon deallocation and zeroization, STDMIN(m_size, m_mark) elements are zeroized.
We wanted to use a high water mark, but we could not track the writes to the allocation. operator[] would have been OK, but ::memcpy would have been problematic
