memory allocator. You do not need to suppress this file because the

* Memory allocation of size byte with alignment suitable for all
42
* memory accesses (including vectors if available on the
43
* CPU). av_malloc(0) must return a non NULL pointer.

Indeed, we should align it:
69
on 32 for 586, PPro - k6-III
70
on 64 for K7 (maybe for P3 too).
71
Because L1 and L2 caches are aligned on those values.
72
But I don't want to code such logic here!
75
because some cpus need alignment, for example SSE2 on P4, & most RISC cpus
76
it will just trigger an exception and the unaligned load will be done in the
77
exception handler or it will just segfault (SSE2 on P4)
78
Why not larger? because i didnt see a difference in benchmarks ...
81
memalign(64)+1 3071,3051,3032
82
memalign(64)+2 3051,3032,3041
83
memalign(64)+4 2911,2896,2915
84
memalign(64)+8 2545,2554,2550
85
memalign(64)+16 2543,2572,2563
86
memalign(64)+32 2546,2545,2571
87
memalign(64)+64 2570,2533,2558
89
btw, malloc seems to do 8 byte alignment by default here
98
* av_realloc semantics (same as glibc): if ptr is NULL and size > 0,
99
* identical to malloc(size). If size is zero, it is identical to
100
* free(ptr) and NULL is returned.

123
* Free memory which has been allocated with av_malloc(z)() or av_realloc().
124
* NOTE: ptr = NULL is explicetly allowed
125
