2018-09-12move __memalign declaration to malloc_impl.hRich Felker-2/+1
the malloc-implementation-private header is the only right place for this, because, being in the reserved namespace, __memalign is not interposable and thus not valid to use anywhere else. anything outside of the malloc implementation must call an appropriate-namespace public function (aligned_alloc or posix_memalign).
2013-07-04move core memalign code from aligned_alloc to __memalignRich Felker-46/+2
there are two motivations for this change. one is to avoid gratuitously depending on a C11 symbol for implementing a POSIX function. the other pertains to the documented semantics. C11 does not define any behavior for aligned_alloc when the length argument is not a multiple of the alignment argument. posix_memalign on the other hand places no requirements on the length argument. using __memalign as the implementation of both, rather than trying to implement one in terms of the other when their documented contracts differ, eliminates this confusion.
2013-07-04move alignment check from aligned_alloc to posix_memalignRich Felker-1/+1
C11 has no requirement that the alignment be a multiple of sizeof(void*), and in fact seems to require any "valid alignment supported by the implementation" to work. since the alignment of char is 1 and thus a valid alignment, an alignment argument of 1 should be accepted.
2012-12-06fix invalid read in aligned_allocRich Felker-2/+3
in case of mmap-obtained chunks, end points past the end of the mapping and reading it may fault. since the value is not needed until after the conditional, move the access to prevent invalid reads.
2012-08-25implement "low hanging fruit" from C11Rich Felker-0/+51
based on Gregor's patch sent to the list. includes: - stdalign.h - removing gets in C11 mode - adding aligned_alloc and adjusting other functions to use it - adding 'x' flag to fopen for exclusive mode
