Summary:
Add support for C++17 over-aligned allocation:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0035r4.html
Supporting all 10 operators means we avoid thunking thru libstdc++-v3/libsupc++ and just call jemalloc directly.
It's also worth noting that there is now an aligned *and sized* operator delete:
```
void operator delete(void* ptr, std::size_t size, std::align_val_t al) noexcept;
```
If JeMalloc did not provide this, the default implementation would ignore the size parameter entirely:
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/libstdc%2B%2B-v3/libsupc%2B%2B/del_opsa.cc#L30-L33
(I must also update ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 to a newer version with C++17 support.)
Test Plan:
Wrote a simple test that allocates and then deletes an over-aligned type:
```
struct alignas(32) Foo {};
Foo *f;
int main()
{
f = new Foo;
delete f;
}
```
Before this change, both new and delete go thru PLT, and we end up calling regular old free:
```
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function main():
...
0x00000000004029b7 <+55>: call 0x4022d0 <_ZnwmSt11align_val_t@plt>
...
0x00000000004029d5 <+85>: call 0x4022e0 <_ZdlPvmSt11align_val_t@plt>
...
(gdb) s
free (ptr=0x7ffff6408020) at /home/engshare/third-party2/jemalloc/master/src/jemalloc.git-trunk/src/jemalloc.c:2842
2842 if (!free_fastpath(ptr, 0, false)) {
```
After this change, we directly call new/delete and ultimately call sdallocx:
```
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function main():
...
0x0000000000402b77 <+55>: call 0x496ca0 <operator new(unsigned long, std::align_val_t)>
...
0x0000000000402b95 <+85>: call 0x496e60 <operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)>
...
(gdb) s
116 je_sdallocx_noflags(ptr, size);
```
Adds cpp bindings for jemalloc, along with necessary autoconf settings.
This is mostly to add sized deallocation support, which can't be added
from C directly. Sized deallocation is ~10% microbench improvement.
* Import ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 from the autoconf repo, seems like the
easiest way to get c++14 detection.
* Adds various other changes, like CXXFLAGS, to configure.ac.
* Adds new rules to Makefile.in for src/jemalloc-cpp.cpp, and a basic
unittest.
* Both new and delete are overridden, to ensure jemalloc is used for
both.
* TODO future enhancement of avoiding extra PLT thunks for new and
delete - sdallocx and malloc are publicly exported jemalloc symbols,
using an alias would link them directly. Unfortunately, was having
trouble getting it to play nice with jemalloc's namespace support.
Testing:
Tested gcc 4.8, gcc 5, gcc 5.2, clang 4.0. Only gcc >= 5 has sized
deallocation support, verified that the rest build correctly.
Tested mac osx and Centos.
Tested --with-jemalloc-prefix and --without-export.
This resolves#202.
