AlignedMallocator

alignedAllocate void[] alignedAllocate(size_t bytes, uint a): Uses posix_memalign on Posix and __aligned_malloc on Windows.
alignedAllocate void[] alignedAllocate(size_t bytes, uint a): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
alignedReallocate bool alignedReallocate(void[] b, size_t s, uint a): On Posix there is no realloc for aligned memory, so alignedReallocate emulates the needed behavior by using alignedAllocate to get a new block. The existing block is copied to the new block and then freed. On Windows, calls __aligned_realloc(b.ptr, newSize, a).
allocate void[] allocate(size_t bytes): Forwards to alignedAllocate(bytes, platformAlignment).
deallocate bool deallocate(void[] b): Calls free(b.ptr) on Posix and __aligned_free(b.ptr) on Windows.
deallocate bool deallocate(void[] b): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
reallocate bool reallocate(void[] b, size_t newSize): Forwards to alignedReallocate(b, newSize, platformAlignment). Should be used with blocks obtained with allocate otherwise the custom alignment passed with alignedAllocate can be lost.

instance AlignedMallocator instance;: Returns the global instance of this allocator type. The C heap allocator is thread-safe, therefore all of its methods and instance itself are shared.

alignment enum uint alignment;: The default alignment is platformAlignment.

Examples

auto buffer = AlignedMallocator.instance.alignedAllocate(1024 * 1024 * 4,
    128);
scope(exit) AlignedMallocator.instance.deallocate(buffer);
