     *   on 32 for 586, PPro - K6-III
     *   on 64 for K7 (maybe for P3 too).
     * Because L1 and L2 caches are aligned on those values.
     * But I don't want to code such logic here!

     * For AVX ASM. SSE / NEON needs only 16.
     * Why not larger? Because I did not see a difference in benchmarks ...

void *av_malloc(size_t size)主要作用是根据传入的size大小来调用c的malloc函数来开辟一块内存空间并且返回指向开辟内存空间的指针，FFmpeg中很多内存操作都是基于该接口。

void av_free(void *ptr) 主要作用是为了释放av_malloc开辟的内存空间
