Re: Data alignment code... What goes on?

So why not simply

#define ALIGN4(len) (4)
#define ALIGN8(len) (8)

Because ALIGN4(5) gives 8, ALIGN4(12) gives 16, ALIGN16(17) gives 32 and so
on. The macros *don't* align, they pad the size of the requested allocation
up to a multiple of the number in their name.
