New tests cover:
- background thread states after arena_reset
- background thread stats
- toggle background thread on and off during parallel stress
allocs/dallocs
- background thread fork behavior
Add background-thread fork unit test
test_fork_background_thread (in fork.c): with the background thread enabled,
fork and assert the child comes up with it disabled yet usable (re-enable +
alloc round-trips), while the parent keeps its threads. Placed in fork.c to
reuse its wait_for_child_exit helper and fork/WIN32 handling instead of
duplicating them in a separate file.
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. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: https://jemalloc.net/
