manual/memory.texi: Bring aligned allocation docs up to date.
The current documentation suggests using memalign and valloc which
are now considered obsolete, so suggest using posix_memalign instead.
Also document the possible error return and errno values for memalign
and posix_memalign and improve documentation of __memalign_hook.
ChangeLog:
2013-12-16 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Clarify default
alignment documentation. Suggest posix_memalign rather
than memalign or valloc.
(Aligned Memory Blocks): Remove suggestion to use memalign
or valloc. Remove obsolete comment about BSD.
Document memalign errno values and mark the function obsolete.
Document posix_memalign returned error codes. Mark valloc
as obsolete. (Hooks for Malloc): __memalign_hook is also
called for posix_memalign and valloc.
(Summary of Malloc): Add posix_memalign to function summary.
__memalign_hook is also called for posix_memalign and valloc.
