Prototype
void lfds601_abstraction_aligned_free( void *memory );
Parameters
void *memory
- Pointer to memory previously allocated by lfds601_abstraction_aligned_malloc.
Return Value
No return value.
Notes
Some platforms (such as Windows) have a particular free function (as opposed to the normal free function) which must be used in conjunction with the aligned malloc function. Others (such as Linux) do not and the normal free function can be used.
Examples
Under Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), using the Microsoft C compiler, there is a particular function _aligned_free which must be used with memory allocated by the aligned memory allocator and this free function has the following prototype;
void _aligned_free( void *memblock );
As such, the implementation of lfds601_abstraction_aligned_free() on all Windows (user-mode), for all CPUs, using the Microsoft C compiler, looks like this;
#if (defined _WIN32 && defined _MSC_VER && !defined WIN_KERNEL_BUILD) /* TRD : any Windows on any CPU with the Microsoft C compiler _WIN32 indicates 64-bit or 32-bit Windows _MSC_VER indicates Microsoft C compiler !WIN_KERNEL_BUILD indicates Windows user-mode */ void lfds601_abstraction_aligned_free( void *memory ) { _aligned_free( memory ); return; } #endif
