BDE 3.56.0 Highlights

bdlma::AligningAllocator Changes

This release of BDE updates bdlma::AligningAllocator, which is no longer limited to aligning to the platform’s maximal alignment. Note that implementing alignment requirements requires allocating additional memory that will go unused, potentially up to the alignment requirement number of bytes – so large alignment requirements may waste a equivalently large amount of memory. An OpenGrok search did not find any uses that would be affected by this change.

If you have questions or concerns contact Joshua Berne.

Fixed requests: 3.56.0
