This adds a new `sdallocx` function to the external API, allowing the size to be passed by the caller. It avoids some extra reads in the thread cache fast path. In the case where stats are enabled, this avoids the work of calculating the size from the pointer. An assertion validates the size that's passed in, so enabling debugging will allow users of the API to debug cases where an incorrect size is passed in. The performance win for a contrived microbenchmark doing an allocation and immediately freeing it is ~10%. It may have a different impact on a real workload. Closes #28 |

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, Valgrind integration, 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: http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/
