C11 has max_align_t, but also for C99 "any builtin type" means 16 byte alignment for long double on x64, so malloc() and calloc() are required to align 16 bytes with -std=c99 (and earlier). max_align_t is just a shorthand to express the concept. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31912> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
