Name : jemalloc Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 2.1.0 Release : 1.el5 URL : http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/ Summary : General-purpose scalable concurrent malloc implementation Description : General-purpose scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation. This distribution is the stand-alone "portable" implementation of jemalloc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:

This is a new upstream release

From the *upstream changelog*:

This version incorporates some optimizations that can't quite be considered bug fixes.

**New features**:

* Use Linux's mremap(2) for huge object reallocation when possible. * Avoid locking in mallctl*() when possible. * Add the "thread.[de]allocatedp" mallctl's. * Convert the manual page source from roff to DocBook, and generate both roff and HTML manuals.

**Bug fixes**:

* Fix a crash due to incorrect bootstrap ordering. This only impacted --enable-debug --enable-dss configurations. * Fix a minor statistics bug for mallctl("swap.avail", ...).
