Hi,

As I mentioned in my future development post,
do you think FPC could benefit from
GetMemAligned and ReallocMemAligned routines?
The internal functions could be used to help
control such custom alignment in dynamic
arrays.

Wouldn't it be better to use either some kind of global property or an optional additional argument than completely new routines requiring explicit handling not only from the end-user programs, but also from all units which may in turn be involved in memory allocation (including various containers etc.)?

alignment problem?


It should be fixed/there should be a
possibility to get them aligned

properly. To be honest though, I did not
look into it yet.
