It appears that the GNU libc man page malloc(3) -applies, but it's not included here for copyright reasons. There's -nothing unusual about it. In particular, the section TUNING in -FreeBSD malloc(3) does not apply. - -This library uses the POSIX pthread_atfork() function which was not -committed to -CURRENT until 10 December 2004. See PR bin/68841 for -further details. To build it on older versions, first install this -patch, which should be transparent. - -In addition to the library, the package contains a couple of test -cases. Theoretically they could be run using the FreeBSD libraries, -but they call the legacy memalign() function, which is not provided by -FreeBSD. It may be of interest to fix this issue. |
