Using errno on win32 doesn't quite work, because the value set in a shared
library can't be read from e.g. an executable calling the function setting
errno.
At the same time, since buferror always uses errno/GetLastError, don't pass
it.
MSVC doesn't support C99, and building as C++ to be able to use them is
dangerous, as C++ and C99 are incompatible.
Introduce a VARIABLE_ARRAY macro that either uses VLA when supported,
or alloca() otherwise. Note that using alloca() inside loops doesn't
quite work like VLAs, thus the use of VARIABLE_ARRAY there is discouraged.
It might be worth investigating ways to check whether VARIABLE_ARRAY is
used in such context at runtime in debug builds and bail out if that
happens.
MSVC doesn't support C99, and as such doesn't support designated
initialization of structs and unions. As there is never a mix of
indexed and named nodes, it is pretty straightforward to use a
different type for each.
Fix a potential deadlock that could occur during interval- and
growth-triggered heap profile dumps.
Fix an off-by-one heap profile statistics bug that could be observed in
interval- and growth-triggered heap profiles.
Fix heap profile dump filename sequence numbers (regression during
conversion to malloc_snprintf()).
Remove mmap_unaligned, which was used to heuristically decide whether to
optimistically call mmap() in such a way that could reduce the total
number of system calls. If I remember correctly, the intention of
mmap_unaligned was to avoid always executing the slow path in the
presence of ASLR. However, that reasoning seems to have been based on a
flawed understanding of how ASLR actually works. Although ASLR
apparently causes mmap() to ignore address requests, it does not cause
total placement randomness, so there is a reasonable expectation that
iterative mmap() calls will start returning chunk-aligned mappings once
the first chunk has been properly aligned.
Fix chunk_alloc_dss() to zero memory when requested.
Fix chunk_dealloc() to avoid chunk_dealloc_mmap() for dss-allocated
memory.
Fix huge_palloc() to always junk fill when requested.
Improve chunk_recycle() to report that memory is zeroed as a side effect
of pages_purge().
Fix a memory corruption bug in chunk_alloc_dss() that was due to
claiming newly allocated memory is zeroed.
Reverse order of preference between mmap() and sbrk() to prefer mmap().
Clean up management of 'zero' parameter in chunk_alloc*().
Using static memory when malloc_tsd_malloc fails means all threads share
the same wrapper and thus the same wrapped value. This defeats the purpose
of TSD.
Not setting the initialized member leads to randomly calling the cleanup
function in cases it shouldn't be called (and isn't called in other
implementations).
Change the "opt.lg_prof_sample" default from 0 to 19 (1 B to 512 KiB).
Change the "opt.prof_accum" default from true to false.
Add the "opt.prof_final" mallctl, so that "opt.prof_prefix" need not be
abused to disable final profile dumping.
Add a configure test to determine whether common mmap()/munmap()
patterns cause VM map holes, and only use munmap() to discard unused
chunks if the problem does not exist.
Unify the chunk caching for mmap and dss.
Fix options processing to limit lg_chunk to be large enough that
redzones will always fit.
Normalize arena_palloc(), chunk_alloc_mmap_slow(), and
chunk_recycle_dss() to use the same algorithm for trimming
over-allocation.
Add the ALIGNMENT_ADDR2BASE(), ALIGNMENT_ADDR2OFFSET(), and
ALIGNMENT_CEILING() macros, and use them where appropriate.
Remove the run_size_p parameter from sa2u().
Fix a potential deadlock in chunk_recycle_dss() that was introduced by
eae269036c (Add alignment support to
chunk_alloc()).
Implement Valgrind support, as well as the redzone and quarantine
features, which help Valgrind detect memory errors. Redzones are only
implemented for small objects because the changes necessary to support
redzones around large and huge objects are complicated by in-place
reallocation, to the point that it isn't clear that the maintenance
burden is worth the incremental improvement to Valgrind support.
Merge arena_salloc() and arena_salloc_demote().
Refactor i[v]salloc() to expose the 'demote' option.
This reverts commit 722b370399.
Unfortunately, glibc requires _GNU_SOURCE to be defined before including
string.h, but there is no reliable way to get the prototype within
jemalloc.h unless _GNU_SOURCE was already defined.
Use $((...)) for math in size_classes.h rather than expr, because it is
much faster. This is not supported syntax in the classic Bourne shell,
but all modern sh implementations support it, including bash, zsh, and
ash.
s/PAGE_SHIFT/LG_PAGE/g and s/PAGE_SIZE/PAGE/g.
Remove remnants of the dynamic-page-shift code.
Rename the "arenas.pagesize" mallctl to "arenas.page".
Remove the "arenas.chunksize" mallctl, which is redundant with
"opt.lg_chunk".
This reverts commit 96d4120ac0.
ivsalloc() depends on chunks_rtree being initialized. This can be
worked around via a NULL pointer check. However,
thread_allocated_tsd_get() also depends on initialization having
occurred, and there is no way to guard its call in free() that is
cheaper than checking whether ptr is NULL.
Generalize isalloc() to handle NULL pointers in such a way that the NULL
checking overhead is only paid when introspecting huge allocations (or
NULL). This allows free() and malloc_usable_size() to no longer check
for NULL.

Use ffsl() rather than ffs() plus bitshifting in ALLOCM_ALIGN(). The
original rational for using ffs() was portability, but the bitmap code
has since induced a hard dependency on ffsl().
Remove code that validates malloc_vsnprintf() and malloc_strtoumax()
against their namesakes. The validation code has adequately served its
usefulness at this point, and it isn't worth dealing with the different
formatting for %p with glibc versus other implementations for NULL
pointers ("(nil)" vs. "0x0").
Reported by Mike Hommey.
glibc uses memalign()/free() to allocate/deallocate TLS, which means
that it is unsafe to set TLS variables as a side effect of free() --
they may already be deallocated. Work around this by avoiding
tcache_create() within free().
Reported by Mike Hommey.
