How do I align the value returned by calloc/malloc on a particular byte
boundry ? For instance 64 or 128.

I saw something like this,
1: size = 1024
2: alignment = 128
3: un_aligned = malloc( size+alignment )
4: aligned = (un_aligned+size)&~(alignment-1)

but could not get 4 to compile.

Any thoughts ?


***TIA***
