Source

fun hylo_aligned_alloc(
   _ alignment: Int,
   _ size: Int
) -> MemoryAddress

Details

This function is similar to aligned_alloc from libc, except that it accepts any non-negative size whereas aligned_alloc requires size to be an integral multiple of alignment. Use this function when you need memory aligned at a specific boundary. Othwewise, use malloc.

Memory allocated with hylo_aligned_alloc must be deallocated with hylo_aligned_free.

Returns

a pointer to newly allocated memory.
