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 malloc/malloc.c | 1 - manual/memory.texi | 153 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- 2 files changed, 93 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4
