Now that all of the various issues that static analysis uncovered have been fixed (#2431, #2432, #2433, #2436, #2437, #2446), I've added a GitHub action which will run static analysis for every PR going forward. When static analysis detects issues with your code, the GitHub action provides a link to download its findings in a form tailored for human consumption. Take a look at [this demonstration of what it looks like when static analysis issues are found](https://github.com/Svetlitski/jemalloc/actions/runs/5010245602) on my fork for an example (make sure to follow the instructions in the error message to download and inspect the results).
jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: https://jemalloc.net/
