Subject: [PATCH v3 0/1] man/man3/aligned_alloc.3: HISTORY: Document bogus specification from C11
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:51:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1765979316.git.alx@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1765370035.git.alx@kernel.org>

Hi!

I've already pushed patches 1..13 from v2, as nobody raised concerns.
v3 only contains a signle patch.

I've updated it to also document the case of FreeBSD/jemalloc, as
reported by Seth.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
