From 0a096e4487541671336aa61b0fac10322a9bbbfe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Newton Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 09:48:10 +0000 Subject: manual/memory.texi: Bring aligned allocation docs up to date. The current documentation suggests using memalign and valloc which are now considered obsolete, so suggest using posix_memalign instead. Also document the possible error return and errno values for memalign and posix_memalign and improve documentation of __memalign_hook. ChangeLog: 2013-12-16 Will Newton * manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Clarify default alignment documentation. Suggest posix_memalign rather than memalign or valloc. (Aligned Memory Blocks): Remove suggestion to use memalign or valloc. Remove obsolete comment about BSD. Document memalign errno values and mark the function obsolete. Document posix_memalign returned error codes. Mark valloc as obsolete. (Hooks for Malloc): __memalign_hook is also called for posix_memalign and valloc. (Summary of Malloc): Add posix_memalign to function summary. __memalign_hook is also called for posix_memalign and valloc. --- ChangeLog | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) (limited to 'ChangeLog') diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 78ee4fbe8b..bfe860b2a2 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,17 @@ +2013-12-16 Will Newton + + * manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Clarify default + alignment documentation.
