Implement the *allocx() API, which is a successor to the *allocm() API.
The *allocx() functions are slightly simpler to use because they have
fewer parameters, they directly return the results of primary interest,
and mallocx()/rallocx() avoid the strict aliasing pitfall that
allocm()/rallocx() share with posix_memalign(). The following code
violates strict aliasing rules:
foo_t *foo;
allocm((void **)&foo, NULL, 42, 0);
whereas the following is safe:
foo_t *foo;
void *p;
allocm(&p, NULL, 42, 0);
foo = (foo_t *)p;
mallocx() does not have this problem:
foo_t *foo = (foo_t *)mallocx(42, 0);
Refactor the test harness to support three types of tests:
- unit: White box unit tests. These tests have full access to all
internal jemalloc library symbols. Though in actuality all symbols
are prefixed by jet_, macro-based name mangling abstracts this away
from test code.
- integration: Black box integration tests. These tests link with
the installable shared jemalloc library, and with the exception of
some utility code and configure-generated macro definitions, they have
no access to jemalloc internals.
- stress: Black box stress tests. These tests link with the installable
shared jemalloc library, as well as with an internal allocator with
symbols prefixed by jet_ (same as for unit tests) that can be used to
allocate data structures that are internal to the test code.
Move existing tests into test/{unit,integration}/ as appropriate.
Split out internal parts of jemalloc_defs.h.in and put them in
jemalloc_internal_defs.h.in. This reduces internals exposure to
applications that #include <jemalloc/jemalloc.h>.
Refactor jemalloc.h header generation so that a single header file
results, and the prototypes can be used to generate jet_ prototypes for
tests. Split jemalloc.h.in into multiple parts (jemalloc_defs.h.in,
jemalloc_macros.h.in, jemalloc_protos.h.in, jemalloc_mangle.h.in) and
use a shell script to generate a unified jemalloc.h at configure time.
Change the default private namespace prefix from "" to "je_".
Add missing private namespace mangling.
Remove hard-coded private_namespace.h. Instead generate it and
private_unnamespace.h from private_symbols.txt. Use similar logic for
public symbols, which aids in name mangling for jet_ symbols.
Add test_warn() and test_fail(). Replace existing exit(1) calls with
test_fail() calls.
