aligned_box provides traits and implementations for the allocation of aligned heap memory. It adds new constructors to
std::boxed::Box in order to do aligned allocations.
Place value 17 of type i32 on the heap, aligned to 64 bytes:
rust
use aligned_box::AlignedBox;
let b = Box::<i32>::new_aligned(64, 17);
Allocate memory for 1024 values of type f32 on the heap, aligned to 128 bytes. Values are initialized by their default value:
rust
use aligned_box::AlignedBoxedSliceFromDefault;
let b = Box::<[f32]>::new_aligned_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:
rust
use aligned_box::AlignedBoxedSliceFromValue;
let b = Box::<[f32]>::new_aligned_slice_from_value(128, 1024, std::f32::consts::PI);
