Etymology

This class is Counted because it is reference counted.

Synopsis

This class implements a reference counting mechanism. It allows CountedPtrs to be passed around freely, incrementing or decrementing the reference count as needed when one CountedPtr is assigned to another. When the reference count reaches zero the internal storage is deleted by default, but this behavior can be overridden.

Internally the class uses std::shared_ptr to be thread-safe. Note that tr1 is used if the compiler does not support C++11 yet.

void* casacore::AlignMemory::alloc ( size_t size ) const

Allocate the given amount of memory with the correct alignment.

If alignment < sizeof(void*), malloc will be used, otherwise posix_memalign. The alignment must be a power of 2 for posix_memalign to succeed. It can be freed with the normal free.
