Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Malloc manual cleanups
Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 14:08:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1477318076-22231-1-git-send-email-siddhesh@sourceware.org> (raw)
Here's take 2 of the cleanup of descriptions in the manual description in
malloc. As suggested in previous review, I have made the following changes:
- Moved up "Efficiency considerations for malloc" into a new subsection called
"The GNU allocator" that gives a high level description of the allocator
design and introduces terms like arenas and chunks. I did not go into too
much detail here and have instead pointed interested readers to the wiki page
DJ wrote.
- Added default values of all of the mallopt parameters
Siddhesh Poyarekar (2):
Add note on MALLOC_MMAP_* environment variables
Document the M_ARENA_* mallopt parameters
