3. Mallocator could also implement these on Posix: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/posix_memalign.3.html. However, Windows requires a specific call for deallocating aligned memory. To accommodate both portably, we leave Mallocator as is and create AlignedMallocator that uses the _aligned_* family on Windows and the respective functions on Posix. On Windows, allocate() requests would pass a default of platformSize (i.e. 16 I suspect) to _aligned_malloc.
Just implemented AlignedMallocator and pushed. http://erdani.com/d/phobos-prerelease/std_allocator.html#.AlignedMallocator Untested on Windows. Andrei
