Refactor prof_dump() to use a two pass algorithm, and prof_leave() prior to the second pass. This avoids write(2) system calls while holding critical prof resources. Fix prof_dump() to close the dump file descriptor for all relevant error paths. Minimize the size of prof-related static buffers when prof is disabled. This saves roughly 65 KiB of application memory for non-prof builds. Refactor prof_ctx_init() out of prof_lookup_global().
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/
