Create an aligned malloc and free code that allows you to allocate memory in such a way that the memory location returned is divisible by a power of two. EXAMPLE align_malloc (1000, 128) will yield a memory address that is a multiple of 128 and refers to 1000-byte memory. aligned_free() releases memory that was created by align_malloc.
