* 3.0.0 (XXX not yet released)
Although this version adds some major new features, the primary focus is on
internal code cleanup that facilitates maintainability and portability, most
of which is not reflected in the ChangeLog. This is the first release to
incorporate substantial contributions from numerous other developers, and the
result is a more broadly useful allocator (see the git revision history for
contribution details). Note that the license has been unified, thanks to
Facebook granting a license under the same terms as the other copyright
holders (see COPYING).
New features:
- Implement Valgrind support, redzones, and quarantine.
- Add support for additional operating systems:
+ FreeBSD
+ Mac OS X Lion
- Add support for additional architectures:
+ MIPS
+ SH4
+ Tilera
- Add support for cross compiling.
- Add nallocm(), which rounds a request size up to the nearest size class
without actually allocating.
- Implement aligned_alloc() (blame C11).
- Add the --disable-munmap option, and make it the default on Linux.
- Add the --with-mangling option.
- Add the --disable-experimental option.
- Add the "thread.tcache.enabled" mallctl.
Incompatible changes:
- Enable stats by default.
- Enable fill by default.
- Disable lazy locking by default.
- Rename the "tcache.flush" mallctl to "thread.tcache.flush".
- Rename the "arenas.pagesize" mallctl to "arenas.page".
Removed features:
- Remove the swap feature, including the "config.swap", "swap.avail",
"swap.prezeroed", "swap.nfds", and "swap.fds" mallctls.
- Remove highruns statistics, including the
"stats.arenas.<i>.bins.<j>.highruns" and
"stats.arenas.<i>.lruns.<j>.highruns" mallctls.
- As part of small size class refactoring, remove the "opt.lg_[qc]space_max",
"arenas.cacheline", "arenas.subpage", "arenas.[tqcs]space_{min,max}", and
"arenas.[tqcs]bins" mallctls.
- Remove the "arenas.chunksize" mallctl.
- Remove the "opt.lg_prof_tcmax" option.
- Remove the "opt.lg_prof_bt_max" option.
- Remove the "opt.lg_tcache_gc_sweep" option.
- Remove the --disable-tiny option, including the "config.tiny" mallctl.
- Remove the --enable-dynamic-page-shift configure option.
- Remove the --enable-sysv configure option.
Bug fixes:
- Fix fork-related bugs that could cause deadlock in children between fork
and exec.
- Fix a statistics-related bug in the "thread.arena" mallctl that could cause
invalid statistics and crashes.
- Work around TLS dallocation via free() on Linux. This bug could cause
write-after-free memory corruption.
- Fix malloc_stats_print() to honor 'b' and 'l' in the opts parameter.
- Fix realloc(p, 0) to act like free(p).
- Do not enforce minimum alignment in memalign().
- Check for NULL pointer in malloc_usable_size().
- Fix bin->runcur management to fix a layout policy bug. This bug did not
affect correctness.
- Fix a bug in choose_arena_hard() that potentially caused more arenas to be
initialized than necessary.
- Add missing "opt.lg_tcache_max" mallctl implementation.
- Use glibc allocator hooks to make mixed allocator usage less likely.
- Fix build issues for --disable-tcache.
