hmm, looking at that makes me think further. It does say my updated idea would work, but them I'm stuck on another thought: really, the initial pointers are always (void*) as they come from malloc, will malloc always use the safest alignment for memory creation, as it can be used for anything, or does it base it on creation size? And since the initial pointers are void, shouldn't the final product, whatever type, be ok to point to them, as long as the final product points to a properly aligned space?
