aligned.rs

//! Aligned memory buffer — 64-byte aligned heap storage for hot paths.
//!
//! Safe public kernels accept any `&[u8]` (unaligned load/store).
//! `AlignedBuffer` is used internally (and optionally by callers) so encoder,
//! decoder, and matrix rows hit aligned SIMD paths by default.
//!
//! **Public constructors:** [`zeroed`], [`from_slice`].
//! **Internal only:** `new_uninit` is `pub(crate)` so external code cannot
//! obtain a slice over uninitialized memory.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rlnc_simdx::AlignedBuffer;
//!
//! let src = AlignedBuffer::from_slice(&[0xABu8; 64]);
//! let mut dst = AlignedBuffer::zeroed(64);
//!
//! assert_eq!(src.as_ptr() as usize % 64, 0);
//! // Safe public kernel — no `unsafe` required
//! rlnc_simdx::kernel::scale(0x03, &src, &mut dst);
//! assert_eq!(dst.len(), 64);
//! ```
