<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_slice_alloc ##### -->
<para>
Allocates a block of memory from the slice allocator.
The block adress handed out is guaranteed to be aligned
to at least <literal>2 * sizeof (void*)</literal>.
The block adress handed out can be expected to be aligned
to at least <literal>1 * sizeof (void*)</literal>,
though in general slices are 2 * sizeof (void*) bytes aligned,
if a malloc() fallback implementation is used instead,
the alignment may be reduced in a libc dependent fashion.
Note that the underlying slice allocation mechanism can
be changed with the <link linkend="G_SLICE">G_SLICE=always-malloc</link>
environment variable.
