SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       void * SDL_aligned_alloc(size_t alignment, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION

       The memory returned by this function must be freed with

       SDL_aligned_free (), _not_ SDL_free ().

       If alignment is less than the size of void* , it will be increased to match that.

       The  returned  memory  address  will  be  a  multiple  of the alignment value, and the size of the memory
       allocated will be a multiple of the alignment value.

       alignment
              the alignment of the memory.

       size   the size to allocate.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a pointer to the aligned memory, or NULL if allocation failed.

THREAD SAFETY
