This fixes an incorrect debug-mode assert: - T1 starts an arena stats update and reads stack_head from another thread's cache bin, when that cache bin has 1 item in it. - T2 allocates from that cache bin. The cache_bin's stack_head now points to a NULL pointer, since the cache bin is empty. - T1 Re-reads the cache_bin's stack_head to perform an assertion check (since it previously saw that the bin was empty, whatever stack_head points to should be non-NULL).
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/
