Jason Evans	ef8897b4b9	Make 8-byte tiny size class non-optional. ... When tiny size class support was first added, it was intended to support truly tiny size classes (even 2 bytes). However, this wasn't very useful in practice, so the minimum tiny size class has been limited to sizeof(void *) for a long time now. This is too small to be standards compliant, but other commonly used malloc implementations do not even bother using a 16-byte quantum on systems with vector units (SSE2+, AltiVEC, etc.). As such, it is safe in practice to support an 8-byte tiny size class on 64-bit systems that support 16-byte types.	2012-02-13 15:03:59 -08:00
Jason Evans	0fee70d718	Do not enable lazy locking by default. ... Do not enable lazy locking by default, because: - It's fragile (applications can subvert detection of multi-threaded mode). - Thread caching amortizes locking overhead in the default configuration.	2012-02-13 12:36:11 -08:00
Jason Evans	4162627757	Remove the swap feature. ... Remove the swap feature, which enabled per application swap files. In practice this feature has not proven itself useful to users.	2012-02-13 10:56:17 -08:00
Jason Evans	746e77a06b	Add the --with-private-namespace option. ... Add the --with-private-namespace option to make it possible to work around library-private symbols being exposed in static libraries.	2011-07-30 16:40:52 -07:00
