alignedAlloc
fun alignedAlloc(nBlocks: <Error class: unknown class>, nBlockBytes: <Error class: unknown class>, alignment: <Error class: unknown class>): <Error class: unknown class>?
This function is similar to g_malloc(), allocating (@n_blocks * @n_block_bytes) bytes, but care is taken to align the allocated memory to with the given alignment value. Additionally, it will detect possible overflow during multiplication.
If the allocation fails (because the system is out of memory), the program is terminated.
Aligned memory allocations returned by this function can only be freed using g_aligned_free_sized() or g_aligned_free().
Return
the allocated memory
Since

Parameters
nBlocks
the number of blocks to allocate
nBlockBytes
the size of each block in bytes
alignment
the alignment to be enforced, which must be a positive power of 2 and a multiple of sizeof(void*)
