* Memory allocation of size byte with alignment suitable for all
42
* memory accesses (including vectors if available on the
43

Indeed, we should align it:
55
on 32 for 586, PPro - k6-III
56
on 64 for K7 (maybe for P3 too).
57
Because L1 and L2 caches are aligned on those values.
58
But I don't want to code such logic here!
61
because some cpus need alignment, for example SSE2 on P4, & most RISC cpus
62
it will just trigger an exception and the unaligned load will be done in the
63
exception handler or it will just segfault (SSE2 on P4)
64
Why not larger? because i didnt see a difference in benchmarks ...
67
memalign(64)+1 3071,3051,3032
68
memalign(64)+2 3051,3032,3041
69
memalign(64)+4 2911,2896,2915
70
memalign(64)+8 2545,2554,2550
71
memalign(64)+16 2543,2572,2563
72
memalign(64)+32 2546,2545,2571
73
memalign(64)+64 2570,2533,2558
75
btw, malloc seems to do 8 byte alignment by default here
84
* av_realloc semantics (same as glibc): if ptr is NULL and size > 0,
85
* identical to malloc(size). If size is zero, it is identical to
86
* free(ptr) and NULL is returned.
88
void *av_realloc(void *ptr, unsigned int size)
90
return realloc(ptr, size);
93
/* NOTE: ptr = NULL is explicetly allowed */
94
void av_free(void *ptr)
96
/* XXX: this test should not be needed on most libcs */
