Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Unless the memory allocator actually supports it, this means you lose a whole lot of memory for padding, though... Memory which will sit there unused at the end of another cacheline.
Note that the current small object allocator, if not disabled, *should* already return you aligned memory, by construction (each allocation size has dedicated pools from which memory blocks are carved). ---------- nosy: +haypo, pitrou, tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18835> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
