iplFree().
Return Value
The function returns a pointer to an aligned memory block. If no memory
is available in the system, then the
NULL value is returned.

double words.
int* ipliMalloc(int size );
size Size in double words (32 bits) of memory block
to allocate.
Discussion
The ipliMalloc() function allocates memory block aligned to an 8-byte
