Inside the code, the align value is used for both the allocation size and the shifting of the pointer, as usual. The odd thing is that the documentation describes it as a bitmask, and the code tests that it is a power of two (with the (align&(align-1))==0 check). This is what I find so strange. Why this complicated solution? Why not just a plain alignment value? </body> </html>
