Macro
#define LFDS711_PAL_ALIGN( alignment ) [compiler alignment directive]
Parameters
alignment
- Alignment in bytes.
Return Value
No return value.
Example
#define LFDS711_PAL_ALIGN(alignment) __attribute__( (aligned(alignment)) )
Optionality
This define is mandatory and the library cannot compile if it is not set.
Notes
Atomic instructions require the variables they operate upon to meet certain memory alignment requirements.
This issue comes into play when making stack allocation, or positioning elements in structures for caching-line or exclusive reservation granule alignement and padding.
This macro is the mechanism by which the compiler specific keyword for alignment is provided to liblfds.
