changeset 1908:d649f2179d67

* alloc.c (make_pure_float): Align pureptr on a sizeof (double) boundary before allocating the float. * alloc.c: Add description lines to the top of each page. * alloc.c (mark_interval_tree): Remove spurious & in front of function name. * alloc.c (UNMARK_BALANCE_INTERVALS): Fix to accomodate compilers other than GCC, which do not allow casts on the LHS of an assignment. * alloc.c (mark_object, mark_buffer): Remove some unused variables.
