aligned_box: Allocate aligned heap memory in Rust.
This crate provides a wrapper around std::boxed::Box
which allows allocating heap memory with user-specified alignment.
Examples
Place value 17 of type i32
on the heap, aligned to 64 bytes:
use aligned_box::AlignedBox;
let b = AlignedBox::<i32>::new(64, 17);
Allocate memory for 1024 values of type f32
on the heap, aligned to 128 bytes. Values are initialized by their default value:
use aligned_box::AlignedBox;
let b = AlignedBox::<[f32]>::slice_from_default(128, 1024);
Allocate memory for 1024 values of type f32
on the heap, aligned to 128 bytes. All values are initialized with PI:
use aligned_box::AlignedBox;
let b = AlignedBox::<[f32]>::slice_from_value(128, 1024, std::f32::consts::PI);
