What's the best way to use aligned buffers?

seens like the AudioBuffer is aligned already!

Alignment of AudioSampleBuffers

Hi all & Jules in particular I found recently that I had some SSE code that assumed 16-byte alignment without checking for it. Unfortunately, PluginHost doesn't enforce alignment so sometimes my code would crash and sometimes it wouldn't. To test for 16-byte alignment I'm doing something like this: isAligned = (reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(buffer.getReadPointer (ch))& 0xF) == 0 After a bit of investigation I've found that by using DirectSound and trying different buffer sizes I can usually …

Nice! Sorry for opening another thread about this…
