## Detailed Description

Allocating aligned memory blocks.

Note that `alignment` always follows `size` for consistency with the unaligned allocation API, but unfortunately this differs from `posix_memalign` and `aligned_alloc` in the C library.

## Function Documentation

## ◆ mi_calloc_aligned()

void * mi_calloc_aligned | ( | size_t | count,
|  | size_t | size,
|  | size_t | alignment )

## ◆ mi_calloc_aligned_at()

void * mi_calloc_aligned_at | ( | size_t | count,
|  | size_t | size,
|  | size_t | alignment,
|  | size_t | offset )

## ◆ mi_malloc_aligned()

void * mi_malloc_aligned | ( | size_t | size,
|  | size_t | alignment )

Allocate size bytes aligned by alignment.

Parameters

  size | number of bytes to allocate.
  alignment | the minimal alignment of the allocated memory.

Returns
  pointer to the allocated memory or NULL if out of memory, or if the alignment is not a power of 2 (including 0). The size is unrestricted (and does not have to be an integral multiple of the alignment). The returned pointer is aligned by alignment, i.e. `(uintptr_t)p % alignment == 0`. Returns a unique pointer if called with size 0.

Note that `alignment` always follows `size` for consistency with the unaligned allocation API, but unfortunately this differs from `posix_memalign` and `aligned_alloc` in the C library.

## ◆ mi_malloc_aligned_at()

void * mi_malloc_aligned_at | ( | size_t | size,
|  | size_t | alignment,
|  | size_t | offset )

Allocate size bytes aligned by alignment at a specified offset.

Parameters

  size | number of bytes to allocate.
  alignment | the minimal alignment of the allocated memory at offset.
  offset | the offset that should be aligned.

Returns
  pointer to the allocated memory or NULL if out of memory, or if the alignment is not a power of 2 (including 0). The size is unrestricted (and does not have to be an integral multiple of the alignment). The returned pointer is aligned by alignment, i.e. `(uintptr_t)p % alignment == 0`. Returns a unique pointer if called with size 0.
