Function Documentation

my_aligned_free()

void my_aligned_free

(

void *

ptr

)

Free allocated memory using my_aligned_malloc function.

Parameters

[in]

ptr

Pointer to allocated memory using my_aligned_malloc function.

my_aligned_malloc()

void * my_aligned_malloc	(	size_t	size,
		size_t	alignment
	)

Function allocates size bytes and returns a pointer to the allocated memory.

Size and alignment parameters depend on platform on which the function is executed. Please check posix_memalign, memalign and _aligned_malloc functions for details. To conform with all platforms size should be multiple of aligment and aligment should be power of two.

We can use C++17 aligned new/aligned delete on non-windows platforms once the minimum supported version of tcmalloc becomes >= 2.6.2. Right now TC malloc crashes.

Parameters

[in]	size	Multiple of alignment.
[in]	alignment	Memory aligment, which must be power of two.

Returns

Pointer to allocated memory.
