When I use LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libtcmalloc.so, all my calls to malloc become tcmalloc calls. However, when I link statically against libtcmalloc, I find that straight malloc is getting called unless I still use the LD_PRELOAD setting. So how can I statically compile against tcmalloc in such a way that my mallocs hook into tcmallo...
I'd like to experiment with Google's tcmalloc on Linux... I have a huge project here, with hundreds of qmake generated Makefile's... I'd like to find a way to get gcc to globally link against tcmalloc (like it does with libc)... Is this possible? Or will I have to edit every Makefile? (I'd prefer not to edit all the pro files as there a...
Will malloc implementations return free-ed memory back to the system? I have a long-living application with active memory allocation-deallocation. What behavior have ptmalloc 1-2-3, dlmalloc (glibc default), tcmalloc (google threaded malloc), solaris 10-11 default malloc and mtmalloc, FreeBSD 8 default malloc (jemalloc), Hoard malloc? ...
I have a long running process that will fetch 100k rows from the db genrate a web page and then release all the small objets (list, tuples and dicts). On windows, after each request the memory is freed. Howerver, on linux, the memory of the server keeps growing. The following posts describes what the problem is and one possible solution...
A C++ project encounter the memory fragmentation problem, and tried following: nedmalloc- Did not pass the stress test (crashed after 15 hrs), that means it works in the most of cases but not the all. And more memory usage than other allocators. jemalloc- Not ready for Windows? tcmalloc- Compiled with host code with static linking, bu...
