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);
```
Summary: sdallocx is checking a flag that will never be set (at least in the provided C++ destructor implementation). This branch will probably only rarely be mispredicted however it removes two instructions in sdallocx and one at the callsite (to zero out flags).
This is a biggy. jemalloc_internal.h has been doing multiple jobs for a while
now:
- The source of system-wide definitions.
- The catch-all include file.
- The module header file for jemalloc.c
This commit splits up this functionality. The system-wide definitions
responsibility has moved to jemalloc_preamble.h. The catch-all include file is
now jemalloc_internal_includes.h. The module headers for jemalloc.c are now in
jemalloc_internal_[externs|inlines|types].h, just as they are for the other
modules.
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.
