// Allocate buffer
//
// Allocation needs to be on the heap in order to provide alignment guarantees!
//
// Alignment must be a power of two and a multiple of sizeof(void *)
// Heinz: could you move this to a separate file. Add a big
// comment explaining that you should allocate it on the heap if
// you want the alignment guarantees. Then write a test suite
// (buffer_t) that covers the following cases.
//
// - Allocate several on the heap, check they have the requested
// alignment. Try for various Alignments. If memalign has
// restrictions could you document (eg, power of 2).
// - you can use the [] to set a value in a non-const instance
// - you can't use the [] to set a value in a const instance - not
// sure how to do this, since it'll be a compile time error.
// - you can use [] to read back a value that you've set.
// - [] to read works in a const instance.
// - you can use raw() to get and set values.
// - an exception is thrown if you put too large an index in []
// - check you can't copy a buffer via a copy constructor or ==
// - (again a compile time error, just experiment so you understand
// - boost::noncopyable).
