[AD] malloc for bitmaps alignment?

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.liballeg.org/allegro-developers Archives ]


reading thru some MMX/SSE stuff i found that alignment needs to be 16bytes..
when memory is malloc'ed for  bitmaps are they 16byte aligned ?

is this something that allegro needs to take care of ?

if allegro can not guarantee it, can i create_bitmap() only multiples of 16 to guarantee alignment ?

if its an allegro thing that needs to be fixed, there are functions called _aligned_malloc()


as i am using MMX/SSE on memory bitmaps, is there any other advice or known problems you can ..er.. advice me about ?

aj.
