# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_CHECK_PAGE_ALIGNED_MALLOC
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Some operating systems (generally, BSD Unix variants) lack a
# posix_memalign function, a memalign function, and a working (meaning,
# the memory can be freed) valloc function. To make up for it, the malloc
# function promises to return page-aligned addresses if more than one
# page's worth of memory is allocated. AX_CHECK_PAGE_ALIGNED_MALLOC checks
# for this condition and defines HAVE_PAGE_ALIGNED_MALLOC if the condition
# holds.
#
# As an aside, note that valloc'd memory cannot safely be freed on all
# operating systems. (Again, some flavors of BSD are the troublemakers.)
# It's best to avoid using valloc in favor of posix_memalign, memalign, or
# an aligned malloc as detected by AX_CHECK_PAGE_ALIGNED_MALLOC.
#
# Caveat: AX_CHECK_PAGE_ALIGNED_MALLOC takes a probabalistic approach. If
# 100 calls to malloc all return page-aligned addresses, it assumes that
# all calls will behave likewise. It is therefore possible -- albeit
# extremely unlikely -- that AX_CHECK_PAGE_ALIGNED_MALLOC can return a
# false positive.
