cf_aligned_alloc¶

Allocates a block of memory aligned along a byte boundary.

void* cf_aligned_alloc(size_t size, int alignment);

Parameters	Description
size	The size of the allocation.
alignment	An alignment boundary, must be a power of two.

Return Value¶

Returns an aligned pointer of size bytes.

Aligned allocation is mostly useful as a performance optimization, or for SIMD operations that require byte alignments.
