[issue18835] Add aligned memory variants to the suite of PyMem functions/macros

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah <stefan at bytereef.org> added the comment:

Should we care about the C11 restriction?

http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/memory/aligned_alloc

"size - number of bytes to allocate. An integral multiple of alignment"



posix_memalign and _aligned_malloc don't care about the multiple.

On the other hand, sane requests will have the exact multiple most
of the time anyway.
