Both components had a four-way split (_types, _structs, _externs, _inlines) that predates explicit per-file includes. With the edata <-> prof_types coupling broken in the prior commit, merging _types + _structs + _externs no longer risks an include cycle. - prof.h replaces prof_types.h + prof_structs.h + prof_externs.h. - tcache.h replaces tcache_types.h + tcache_structs.h + tcache_externs.h. prof_inlines.h and tcache_inlines.h stay separate: prof_inlines.h sits at the bottom of the dependency layering, and tcache_inlines.h's include of arena_externs.h is the asymmetric cycle-breaker that keeps the arena <-> tcache symbol cycle from becoming an include cycle.
jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications.
