Re: glibc-2.3 new malloc

juhp> Fortunately, if one builds with the portable dumper there is juhp> no problem. :-) Yes! Maybe it's time to change the default. Hannibal Lector ld, now malloc goes looney toons ... I just love it when XEmacs just keeps on ticking despite all the optimization the toolchain can throw at it! (All Hail Kyle Martin and Olivier!) Does GNU Emacs work here? Maybe we can learn something from them. Or do they get trashed the same way? juhp> (Does pdump have any known issues with non-ia32 platforms?) Not that I've heard of. The current issues with pdump are 1. separate dump file (unclean, and paranoid sysadmins wet their pants when they see big globs of who knows what in a system bindir ;^) 2. poorly localized Lisp data means the first GC puts all of the Lisp data into "touched" category and it can't be shared any more (thus I have heard from Hrvoje Niksic, I am not an expert) It's default on several platforms, mostly because it was a cheap port. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
