Gnulib module: aligned_alloc
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function fails if the alignment argument is smaller than
@code{sizeof (void *)} on some platforms:
macOS 11.1, AIX 7.2.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on all non-glibc platforms:
glibc 2.15, macOS 10.13, FreeBSD 6.4, NetBSD 7.1, OpenBSD 6.0, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 7.1, HP-UX 11.31, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 11.3, Cygwin 1.7.x, mingw, MSVC 14, Android 8.1.

The Gnulib module @code{aligned-malloc} provides functions for
allocating and freeing blocks of suitably aligned memory.
The Gnulib module @code{pagealign_alloc} provides a similar API for
allocating and freeing blocks of memory aligned on a system page boundary.
