Subject: [PATCH 0/2] libdw: Rewrite the memory handler to be more robust
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2019 18:55:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1572375325.2128.1@rice.edu> (raw)

Hello,

This is (revived and rebased) version of the libdw memory manager that 
isn't affected by the PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX limit. There are some downsides, 
in particular if an application spawns many short-lived threads that 
all touch a Dwarf (enough to cause an allocation), there's about ~8N 
bytes of memory overhead.

The first patch is not required and adds some configure-time options 
for Valgrind annotation support (although, I'm not a serious autotools 
user, so it might need some work).
