--- Comment #1 from Paul Floyd <pjfl...@wanadoo.fr> --- On Linux aligned_alloc accepts an alignment of 0 and an alignment of 40 (i.e., not a power of 2). So the man page is wrong. In fact everything that the man page says about errors concerning alignment/size is wrong. Looking here https://elixir.bootlin.com/glibc/latest/source/malloc/malloc.c#L3416 If the alignment is less than MALLOC_ALIGNMENT (which is 16 for i386 and the max(2*sizeof(size_t), sizeof(long double)) on other platforms) then it just calls the malloc implementation, no error. Not in the man page but in the source there is a check that alignment is not over half the max value of size_t. That causes EINVAL. Lastly if the alignment is not a power of 2 it gets bumped up to the next power of 2, no error. There is no check that size is a multiple of alignment. What a nightmare. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
