Building and installing jemalloc can be as simple as typing the following while
in the root directory of the source tree:

    ./configure
    make
    make install

=== Advanced configuration =====================================================

The 'configure' script supports numerous options that allow control of which
functionality is enabled, where jemalloc is installed, etc.  Optionally, pass
any of the following arguments (not a definitive list) to 'configure':

--help
    Print a definitive list of options.

--prefix=<install-root-dir>
    Set the base directory in which to install.  For example:

        ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

    will cause files to be installed into /usr/local/include, /usr/local/lib,
    and /usr/local/man.

--with-rpath=<colon-separated-rpath>
    Embed one or more library paths, so that Crux's internal shared library can
    find the libraries it is linked to.  This works only on ELF-based systems.

--enable-debug
    Enable assertions and validation code.  This incurs a substantial
    performance hit, but is very useful during application development.

--enable-stats
    Enable statistics gathering functionality.  Use the 'P' option to print
    detailed allocation statistics at exit, and/or the 'U' option to print a
    detailed allocation trace log.

--disable-tiny
    Disable tiny (sub-quantum-sized) object support.  Technically it is not
    legal for a malloc implementation to allocate objects with less than
    quantum alignment (8 or 16 bytes, depending on architecture), but in
    practice it never causes any problems if, for example, 4-byte allocationsj
    are 4-byte-aligned.

--disable-mag
    Disable thread-specific caches for sub-page-sized objects.  Objects are
    cached and released in bulk using "magazines" -- a term coined by the
    developers of Solaris's umem allocator.

--disable-balance
    Disable dynamic rebalancing of thread-->arena assignments.

--enable-dss
    Enable support for page allocation/deallocation via sbrk(2), in addition to
    mmap(2).

--enable-fill
    Enable support for junk/zero filling of memory.  Use the 'J' option to
    control junk filling, or the 'Z' option to control zero filling.

--enable-xmalloc
    Enable support for optional immediate termination due to out-of-memory
    errors, as is commonly implemented by "xmalloc" wrapper function for malloc.
    Use the 'X' option to control termination behavior.

--enable-sysv
    Enable support for System V semantics, wherein malloc(0) returns NULL
    rather than a minimal allocation.  Use the 'V' option to control System V
    compatibility.

--enable-dynamic-page-shift
    Under most conditions, the system page size never changes (usually 4KiB or
    8KiB, depending on architecture and configuration), and unless this option
    is enabled, jemalloc assumes that page size can safely be determined during
    configuration and hard-coded.  Enabling dynamic page size determination has
    a measurable impact on performance, since the compiler is forced to load
    the page size from memory rather than embedding immediate values.

--disable-lazy-lock
    Disable code that wraps pthread_create() to detect when an application
    switches from single-threaded to multi-threaded mode, so that it can avoid
    mutex locking/unlocking operations while in single-threaded mode.  In
    practice, this feature usually has little impact on performance unless
    magazines are disabled.

The following environment variables (not a definitive list) impact configure's
behavior:

CFLAGS="?"
    Pass these flags to the compiler.  You probably shouldn't define this unless
    you know what you are doing.  (Use EXTRA_CFLAGS instead.)

EXTRA_CFLAGS="?"
    Append these flags to CFLAGS.  This makes it possible to add flags such as
    -Werror, while allowing the configure script to determine what other flags
    are appropriate for the specified configuration.

    The configure script specifically checks whether an optimization flag (-O*)
    is specified in EXTRA_CFLAGS, and refrains from specifying an optimization
    level if it finds that one has already been specified.

CPPFLAGS="?"
    Pass these flags to the C preprocessor.  Note that CFLAGS is not passed to
    'cpp' when 'configure' is looking for include files, so you must use
    CPPFLAGS instead if you need to help 'configure' find header files.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="?"
    'ld' uses this colon-separated list to find libraries.

LDFLAGS="?"
    Pass these flags when linking.

PATH="?"
    'configure' uses this to find programs.

=== Advanced compilation =======================================================

To run integrated regression tests, type:

    make check

To clean up build results to varying degrees, use the following make targets:

    clean
    distclean
    relclean

=== Advanced installation ======================================================

Optionally, define make variables when invoking make, including (not
exclusively):

INCLUDEDIR="?"
    Use this as the installation prefix for header files.

LIBDIR="?"
    Use this as the installation prefix for libraries.

MANDIR="?"
    Use this as the installation prefix for man pages.

CC="?"
    Use this to invoke the C compiler.

CFLAGS="?"
    Pass these flags to the compiler.

CPPFLAGS="?"
    Pass these flags to the C preprocessor.

LDFLAGS="?"
    Pass these flags when linking.

PATH="?"
    Use this to search for programs used during configuration and building.

=== Development ================================================================

If you intend to make non-trivial changes to jemalloc, use the 'autogen.sh'
script rather than 'configure'.  This re-generates 'configure', enables
configuration dependency rules, and enables re-generation of automatically
generated source files.

The build system supports using an object directory separate from the source
tree.  For example, you can create an 'obj' directory, and from within that
directory, issue configuration and build commands:

    autoconf
    mkdir obj
    cd obj
    ../configure --enable-autogen
    make
