Message 305304 - Python tracker
Stefan Krah: "we care about the C11 restriction? (...) "size - number of bytes to allocate. An integral multiple of alignment" (...) posix_memalign and _aligned_malloc don't care about the multiple." I prefer to ignore this restriction at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if posix_memalign() and _aligned_malloc() already align the size for us internally. We can add the restriction later, if needed.
