best cross-platform method to get aligned memory

Question

Here is the code I normally use to get aligned memory with Visual Studio and GCC

inline void* aligned_malloc(size_t size, size_t align) {
    void *result;
          


        

Answer 1

Here are my 2 cents:

temp = new unsigned char*[num];
AlignedBuffers = new unsigned char*[num];
for (int i = 0; i((reinterpret_cast
                        (temp[i% num]) + 15) & ~15);// 16 bit alignment in preperation for SSE
}
