The *allocx() functions are slightly simpler to use because they have + fewer parameters, they directly return the results of primary interest, and + mallocx()/rallocx() avoid the strict aliasing pitfall that + allocm()/rallocx() share with posix_memalign(). Note that *allocm() is + slated for removal in the next non-bugfix release. + - Add support for LinuxThreads. + + Bug fixes: + - Unless heap profiling is enabled, disable floating point code and don't link + with libm. This, in combination with e.g. EXTRA_CFLAGS=-mno-sse on x64 + systems, makes it possible to completely disable floating point register + use. Some versions of glibc neglect to save/restore caller-saved floating + point registers during dynamic lazy symbol loading, and the symbol loading + code uses whatever malloc the application happens to have linked/loaded + with, the result being potential floating point register corruption. + - Report ENOMEM rather than EINVAL if an OOM occurs during heap profiling + backtrace creation in imemalign(). This bug impacted posix_memalign() and + aligned_alloc(). + - Fix a file descriptor leak in a prof_dump_maps() error path. + - Fix prof_dump() to close the dump file descriptor for all relevant error + paths. + - Fix rallocm() to use the arena specified by the ALLOCM_ARENA(s) flag for + allocation, not just deallocation. + - Fix a data race for large allocation stats counters. + - Fix a potential infinite loop during thread exit. This bug occurred on + Solaris, and could affect other platforms with similar pthreads TSD + implementations. + - Don't junk-fill reallocations unless usable size changes. This fixes a + violation of the *allocx()/*allocm() semantics. + - Fix growing large reallocation to junk fill new space. + - Fix huge deallocation to junk fill when munmap is disabled. + - Change the default private namespace prefix from empty to je_, and change + --with-private-namespace-prefix so that it prepends an additional prefix + rather than replacing je_. This reduces the likelihood of applications + which statically link jemalloc experiencing symbol name collisions. + - Add missing private namespace mangling (relevant when + --with-private-namespace is specified). + - Add and use JEMALLOC_INLINE_C so that static inline functions are marked as + static even for debug builds. + - Add a missing mutex unlock in a malloc_init_hard() error path. In practice + this error path is never executed. + - Fix numerous bugs in malloc_strotumax() error handling/reporting. These + bugs had no impact except for malformed inputs. + - Fix numerous bugs in malloc_snprintf(). These bugs were not exercised by + existing calls, so they had no impact. + * 3.4.1 (October 20, 2013) Bug fixes: |
