Convert configuration-related cpp conditional logic to use static
constant variables, e.g.:
#ifdef JEMALLOC_DEBUG
[...]
#endif
becomes:
if (config_debug) {
[...]
}
The advantage is clearer, more concise code. The main disadvantage is
that data structures no longer have conditionally defined fields, so
they pay the cost of all fields regardless of whether they are used. In
practice, this is only a minor concern; config_stats will go away in an
upcoming change, and config_prof is the only other major feature that
depends on more than a few special-purpose fields.
jemalloc is a general-purpose scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation. This distribution is a stand-alone "portable" implementation that currently targets Linux and Apple OS X. jemalloc is included as the default allocator in the FreeBSD and NetBSD operating systems, and it is used by the Mozilla Firefox web browser on Microsoft Windows-related platforms. Depending on your needs, one of the other divergent versions may suit your needs better than this distribution. 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/
