8 byte alignment

Some hardware requires 8 byte alignment of variables (MAC modules of Atmel  I know about). With no cost this could be added to freeRTOS: just add these lines to heap_1 and heap_2: #if portBYTE_ALIGNMENT == 8     #define heapBYTE_ALIGNMENT_MASK    ( ( size_t ) 0x0007 ) #endif Could this be done in the next version of the distro? (I try to reduce my work when OS is updated). Regards

I have updated the copies under Subversion to make sure it gets into the next release. Regards.
