[AD] SSE2 vs malloc()

[aj <aj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Looking over the source code there is still alot of  malloc() calls.
For SSE2 to work properly data must be aligned on 16 byte boundaries.

There also seems to be a function called  _al_malloc() which is a 
wrapper for malloc().

Instead of regular malloc()  SSE2 uses _aligned_malloc() to ensure data 
is on 16 byte boundaries.
It would be much easier to simply have _aligned_malloc() replaced at one 
single point (in the _al_malloc() )
It can even be #defined in/out for which ever platform is required.

Is there any reason why all the regular malloc()'s  can not be changed 
to _al_malloc() ?
(please specificy both  technical reasons, and release schedule reasons)


I can submit patches for them all, but its not worth doing until i know 
its going to get implemented.
