Hi,
As I mentioned in my future development post,
do you think FPC could benefit from
GetMemAligned and ReallocMemAligned routines?
The internal functions could be used to help
control such custom alignment in dynamic
arrays.
Wouldn't it be better to use either some kind of global property or an
optional additional argument than completely new routines requiring
explicit handling not only from the end-user programs, but also from all
units which may in turn be involved in memory allocation (including
various containers etc.)?
I think so too.
What's more, I thought the memory allocation routines already guarantee some
form of alignment, simply because of the internal structures used by the memory
manager ?
