| +I've just released perftools 1.8
|
| +
|
| +Of the many changes in this release, a good number pertain to porting.
|
| +I've revamped OS X support to use the malloc-zone framework; it should
|
| +now Just Work to link in tcmalloc, without needing
|
| +`DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE` or the like. (This is a pretty major
|
| +change, so please feel free to report feedback at
|
| +google-perftools@googlegroups.com.) 64-bit Windows support is also
|
| +improved, as is ARM support, and the hooks are in place to improve
|
| +FreeBSD support as well.
|
| +
|
| +On the other hand, I'm seeing hanging tests on Cygwin. I see the same
|
| +hanging even with (the old) perftools 1.7, so I'm guessing this is
|
| +either a problem specific to my Cygwin installation, or nobody is
|
| +trying to use perftools under Cygwin. If you can reproduce the
|
| +problem, and even better have a solution, you can report it at
|
| +google-perftools@googlegroups.com.
|
| +
|
| +Internal changes include several performance and space-saving tweaks.
|
| +One is user-visible (but in "stealth mode", and otherwise
|
| +undocumented): you can compile with `-DTCMALLOC_SMALL_BUT_SLOW`. In
|
| +this mode, tcmalloc will use less memory overhead, at the cost of
|
| +running (likely not noticeably) slower.
|
| +
|
| +There are many other changes as well, too numerous to recount here,
|
| +but present in the
