API Reference — pma/resources/AlignedMemoryResource

class AlignedMemoryResource : public MemoryResource

A MemoryResource that honors alignment requirements stricter than the default allocator provides.

Why this exists

Some allocations (SIMD buffers, hardware-aligned data) need guarantees beyond what malloc/new provide by default. AlignedMemoryResource implements MemoryResource::allocate/deallocate so any pma container or PolyAllocator consumer can honor a specific alignment without special-casing its own allocation logic.

Relationships

• MemoryResource — base interface AlignedMemoryResource implements.
• DefaultMemoryResource — sibling resource that delegates to malloc/free without alignment guarantees.

Watch out for

• deallocate requires passing the same size and alignment values that were used in the corresponding allocate call. Mismatched values are undefined behavior — track these at the call site.
