In 6e7d0890 we added better travis continuous integration tests. This is nice, but has two problems: - We run only a subset of interesting tests. - The travis builds can take hours to give us back results (especially on OS X). This adds scripts/gen_run_tests.py, and its output, run_tests.sh, which builds and runs a larger portion of possible configurations on the local machine. While a travis run takes several hours to complete , I can run these scripts on my (OS X) latop and (Linux) devserve, and get a more exhaustive set of results back in around 10 minutes.
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: http://jemalloc.net/
