l_malloc()

void * syten::l_malloc	(	std::size_t const	size,
		std::size_t const	alignment = 64
	)

Allocates a region of heap memory at least size bytes large, aligned to alignment boundary.

Uses posix_memalign(), mkl_alloc() was always slower when tested.

Parameters

size	minimal number of bytes to allocate
alignment	alignment requirement

Returns

a pointer p s.t. p % alignment == 0 and p[i] is valid for all i > -1 ∧ i < size
