There are also issues with alignment. If a class derived from BaseComponent requires non-standard alignment (for example, when using __m256), this requirement is not propagated to Noesis allocators, which prevents client code from handling it correctly. In C++17, operator new provides an overload that includes alignment information, which could be used to pass this requirement to our allocators. The allocation size is also available, so we could forward it to the client in dealloc and realloc operations.

A far from ideal solution is implementing AlignedAlloc on top of current allocators:

void* AlignedAlloc(size_t size, size_t alignment)
{
    size_t total = size + alignment - 1 + sizeof(void*);
    void* ptr = Noesis::Alloc(total);

    uintptr_t rawAddr = (uintptr_t)ptr + sizeof(void*);
    uintptr_t alignedAddr = (rawAddr + alignment - 1) & ~(uintptr_t)(alignment - 1);
    void* aligned = (void*)alignedAddr;

    ((void**)aligned)[-1] = ptr;

    return aligned;
}

void AlignedDealloc(void* ptr)
{
    void* raw = ((void**)ptr)[-1];
    Noesis::Dealloc(raw);
}
