No currently-available version of Visual Studio C compiler supports
variable length arrays, even if it defines __STDC_VERSION__ >= C99.
As far as I know Microsoft has no plans to ever support VLAs in MSVC.
The C11 standard requires that the __STDC_NO_VLA__ macro be defined if
the compiler doesn't support VLAs, so fall back to alloca() if so.
With `--with-jemalloc-prefix=` and without `-fno-builtin` or `-O1` both clang and gcc may optimize out `malloc` calls
whose result is unused. Comparing result to NULL also doesn't necessarily count as being used.
This won't be a problem in most client programs as this only concerns really unused pointers, but in
tests it's important to actually execute allocations.
`-fno-builtin` should disable this optimization for both gcc and clang, and applying it only to tests code shouldn't hopefully be an issue.
Another alternative is to force "use" of result but that'd require more changes and may miss some other optimization-related issues.
This should resolve https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/2091
Add new runtime option `debug_double_free_max_scan` that specifies the max
number of stack entries to scan in the cache bit when trying to detect the
double free bug (currently debug build only).
In arena_stats_merge() first nmalloc was read, and after ndalloc.
However with this order, it is possible for some thread to incement
ndalloc in between, and then nmalloc < ndalloc, and assertion will fail,
like again found by ClickHouse CI [1] (even after #2234).

Swap the order to avoid possible assertion.

The option makes jemalloc use prctl with PR_SET_VMA to tag memory mappings with
"jemalloc_pg" or "jemalloc_pg_overcommit". This allows to easily identify
jemalloc's mappings in /proc/<pid>/maps. PR_SET_VMA is only available in Linux
5.17 and above.
At the time an attempt to compile jemalloc 5.3.0 with MSVC 2019 results in the followin error message:
> jemalloc/include/jemalloc/internal/edata.h:660: error C4576: a parenthesized type followed by an initializer list is a non-standard explicit type conversion syntax
Default SEC max_alloc option value was 32k, disabling SEC for platforms with
lg-page=16. This change enables SEC for all platforms, making minimum max_alloc
value equal to PAGE.
Due to a bug in sec initialization, the number of cached size classes
was equal to 198. The bug caused the creation of more than a hundred of
unused bins, although it didn't affect the caching logic.
