Review Comment:
   The use of std vector is not just to implement the alignment, but also 
resolve memory freeing issues especially if the function fails in the middle 
and returns some Invalid status in the future. If you use std vector they will 
automatically be destroyed, if you had used posix_memalign that memory region 
will not be freed.
