Describe the contribution
Changes the type of pointer in the API from
uint8*
tovoid*
to be more consistent and easier to use. Should be backward compatible.This also updates the doxygen documentation for this parameter, as it was specifying a 32-bit alignment requirement whereas the
alignment requirement is processor dependent - 64 bit processors typically will need 64 bit alignment. Link to the macro which
is intended to aid in aligning the static pool buffer.
Fixes #1317
Testing performed
