From 7f016919fc8a042b83812ae5f34946ef23b7adb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Wakely Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 16:57:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] libstdc++: Add comment about memalign requirements The memalign man page on Solaris and QNX lists an additional requirement for the alignment value that is not present in all implementation of that non-standard function. For both those targets we should actually be using posix_memalign anyway, so it doesn't matter. This just adds a comment making note of that fact. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * libsupc++/new_opa.cc (aligned_alloc): Add comment. --- libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/new_opa.cc | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/new_opa.cc b/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/new_opa.cc index 5f24737..411cd8d 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/new_opa.cc +++ b/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/new_opa.cc @@ -87,6 +87,8 @@ aligned_alloc (std::size_t al, std::size_t sz) static inline void* aligned_alloc (std::size_t al, std::size_t sz) { + // Solaris requires al >= sizeof a word and QNX requires >= sizeof(void*) + // but they both provide posix_memalign, so will use the definition above. return memalign (al, sz); } #else // !HAVE__ALIGNED_MALLOC && !HAVE_POSIX_MEMALIGN && !HAVE_MEMALIGN -- 2.7.4
