Don't junk fill reallocations for which the request size is less than the current usable size, but not enough smaller to cause a size class change. Unlike malloc()/calloc()/realloc(), *allocx() contractually treats the full usize as the allocation, so a caller can ask for zeroed memory via mallocx() and a series of rallocx() calls that all specify MALLOCX_ZERO, and be assured that all newly allocated bytes will be zeroed and made available to the application without danger of allocator mutation until the size class decreases enough to cause usize reduction. |

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/
