[Python-Dev] If aligned_alloc() is missing on your platform, please let us know.

[Stefan Krah]

Hello,

we want to add aligned versions of allocation functions to 3.7:

   https://bugs.python.org/issue18835


C11 has aligned_alloc().

Linux, BSD, OSX, MSVC, Android all have either posix_memalign() or
_aligned_malloc().

Cygwin apparently has posix_memalign().

MinGW has:

Victor wrote a patch and would like to avoid adding a (probably unnecessary)
emulation function. I agree with that.

So if any platform does not have some form of aligned_alloc(), please
speak up.
