NAME
SDL_aligned_alloc - Allocate memory aligned to a specific alignment.
SYNOPSIS
#include <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h>
void * SDL_aligned_alloc(size_t alignment, size_t size);
DESCRIPTION
The memory returned by this function must be freed with SDL_aligned_free(), _not_ SDL_free().
If alignment is less than the size of void *, it will be increased to match that.
The returned memory address will be a multiple of the alignment value, and the size of the memory allocated will be a multiple of the alignment value.
FUNCTION PARAMETERS
- alignment
- the alignment of the memory.
- size
- the size to allocate.
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the aligned memory, or NULL if allocation failed.
THREAD SAFETY
It is safe to call this function from any thread.
AVAILABILITY
