In 2010 +jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features +such as heap profiling, Valgrind integration, 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: http://jemalloc.net/ |
