From 8d8928b0511313ba1740d39c3920f8f12f36a10a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2006 04:46:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Round out memory pool allocations in fast-import to pointer sizes. Some architectures (e.g. SPARC) would require that we access pointers only on pointer-sized alignments. So ensure the pool allocator rounds out non-pointer sized allocations to the next pointer so we don't generate bad memory addresses. This could have occurred if we had previously allocated an atom whose string was not a whole multiple of the pointer size, for example. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
