From 95f8a429307bb0868d056e9ce8c1e2b9d59d2700 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Brown Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 10:41:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Removed incorrect comment; malloc() is inefficient only when the alignment and size are both powers of two, and there's no way to specify an alignment through the malloc() interface anyway. --- src/core/malloc.c | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/core/malloc.c b/src/core/malloc.c index f6426cb4..d23a4eeb 100644 --- a/src/core/malloc.c +++ b/src/core/malloc.c @@ -195,11 +195,6 @@ void free_memblock ( void *ptr, size_t size ) { * * Allocates memory with no particular alignment requirement. @c ptr * will be aligned to at least a multiple of sizeof(void*). - * - * Note that malloc() is very inefficient for allocating blocks where - * the size is a power of two; if you have many of these - * (e.g. descriptor rings, data buffers) you should use malloc_dma() - * instead. */ void * malloc ( size_t size ) { size_t total_size;
