[fpc-devel] State of SSE/AVX intrinsics

[J. Gareth Moreton]

Hi Florian,

As I mentioned in my future development post, 
do you think FPC could benefit from 
GetMemAligned and ReallocMemAligned routines? 
The internal functions could be used to help 
control such custom alignment in dynamic 
arrays.

We're still waiting on a good language 
feature to better control alignment - e.g.
