6 * VERSION 2.6.6 Sun Mar 5 19:10:03 2000 Doug Lea (dl at gee)

10 Check before installing!
12 * Why use this malloc?
14 This is not the fastest, most space-conserving, most portable, or
15 most tunable malloc ever written. However it is among the fastest
16 while also being among the most space-conserving, portable and tunable.
17 Consistent balance across these factors results in a good general-purpose
18 allocator. For a high-level description, see
19 http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html
21 * Synopsis of public routines
23 (Much fuller descriptions are contained in the program documentation below.)
26 Return a pointer to a newly allocated chunk of at least n bytes, or null
27 if no space is available.
29 Release the chunk of memory pointed to by p, or no effect if p is null.
30 realloc(Void_t* p, size_t n);
31 Return a pointer to a chunk of size n that contains the same data
32 as does chunk p up to the minimum of (n, p's size) bytes, or null
33 if no space is available. The returned pointer may or may not be
34 the same as p. If p is null, equivalent to malloc. Unless the
35 #define REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES below is set, realloc with a
36 size argument of zero (re)allocates a minimum-sized chunk.
37 memalign(size_t alignment, size_t n);
38 Return a pointer to a newly allocated chunk of n bytes, aligned
39 in accord with the alignment argument, which must be a power of
42 Equivalent to memalign(pagesize, n), where pagesize is the page
43 size of the system (or as near to this as can be figured out from
44 all the includes/defines below.)
46 Equivalent to valloc(minimum-page-that-holds(n)), that is,
47 round up n to nearest pagesize.
48 calloc(size_t unit, size_t quantity);
49 Returns a pointer to quantity * unit bytes, with all locations
52 Equivalent to free(p).
53 malloc_trim(size_t pad);
54 Release all but pad bytes of freed top-most memory back
55 to the system. Return 1 if successful, else 0.
56 malloc_usable_size(Void_t* p);
57 Report the number usable allocated bytes associated with allocated
58 chunk p. This may or may not report more bytes than were requested,
59 due to alignment and minimum size constraints.
61 Prints brief summary statistics on stderr.
63 Returns (by copy) a struct containing various summary statistics.
64 mallopt(int parameter_number, int parameter_value)
65 Changes one of the tunable parameters described below. Returns
66 1 if successful in changing the parameter, else 0.
71 8 byte alignment is currently hardwired into the design. This
72 seems to suffice for all current machines and C compilers.
74 Assumed pointer representation: 4 or 8 bytes
75 Code for 8-byte pointers is untested by me but has worked
76 reliably by Wolfram Gloger, who contributed most of the
77 changes supporting this.
79 Assumed size_t representation: 4 or 8 bytes
80 Note that size_t is allowed to be 4 bytes even if pointers are 8.
82 Minimum overhead per allocated chunk: 4 or 8 bytes
83 Each malloced chunk has a hidden overhead of 4 bytes holding size
84 and status information.
86 Minimum allocated size: 4-byte ptrs: 16 bytes (including 4 overhead)
87 8-byte ptrs: 24/32 bytes (including, 4/8 overhead)
89 When a chunk is freed, 12 (for 4byte ptrs) or 20 (for 8 byte
90 ptrs but 4 byte size) or 24 (for 8/8) additional bytes are
91 needed; 4 (8) for a trailing size field
92 and 8 (16) bytes for free list pointers. Thus, the minimum
93 allocatable size is 16/24/32 bytes.
95 Even a request for zero bytes (i.e., malloc(0)) returns a
96 pointer to something of the minimum allocatable size.
98 Maximum allocated size: 4-byte size_t: 2^31 - 8 bytes
99 8-byte size_t: 2^63 - 16 bytes
101 It is assumed that (possibly signed) size_t bit values suffice to
102 represent chunk sizes. `Possibly signed' is due to the fact
103 that `size_t' may be defined on a system as either a signed or
104 an unsigned type. To be conservative, values that would appear
105 as negative numbers are avoided.
106 Requests for sizes with a negative sign bit when the request
107 size is treaded as a long will return null.
109 Maximum overhead wastage per allocated chunk: normally 15 bytes
111 Alignnment demands, plus the minimum allocatable size restriction
112 make the normal worst-case wastage 15 bytes (i.e., up to 15
113 more bytes will be allocated than were requested in malloc), with
115 1. Because requests for zero bytes allocate non-zero space,
116 the worst case wastage for a request of zero bytes is 24 bytes.
117 2. For requests >= mmap_threshold that are serviced via
118 mmap(), the worst case wastage is 8 bytes plus the remainder
119 from a system page (the minimal mmap unit); typically 4096 bytes.
123 Here are some features that are NOT currently supported
125 * No user-definable hooks for callbacks and the like.
126 * No automated mechanism for fully checking that all accesses
127 to malloced memory stay within their bounds.
128 * No support for compaction.
130 * Synopsis of compile-time options:
132 People have reported using previous versions of this malloc on all
133 versions of Unix, sometimes by tweaking some of the defines
134 below. It has been tested most extensively on Solaris and
135 Linux. It is also reported to work on WIN32 platforms.
136 People have also reported adapting this malloc for use in
137 stand-alone embedded systems.
139 The implementation is in straight, hand-tuned ANSI C. Among other
140 consequences, it uses a lot of macros. Because of this, to be at
141 all usable, this code should be compiled using an optimizing compiler
142 (for example gcc -O2) that can simplify expressions and control
145 __STD_C (default: derived from C compiler defines)
146 Nonzero if using ANSI-standard C compiler, a C++ compiler, or
147 a C compiler sufficiently close to ANSI to get away with it.
148 DEBUG (default: NOT defined)
149 Define to enable debugging. Adds fairly extensive assertion-based
150 checking to help track down memory errors, but noticeably slows down
152 REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES (default: NOT defined)
153 Define this if you think that realloc(p, 0) should be equivalent
154 to free(p). Otherwise, since malloc returns a unique pointer for
155 malloc(0), so does realloc(p, 0).
156 HAVE_MEMCPY (default: defined)
157 Define if you are not otherwise using ANSI STD C, but still
158 have memcpy and memset in your C library and want to use them.
159 Otherwise, simple internal versions are supplied.
160 USE_MEMCPY (default: 1 if HAVE_MEMCPY is defined, 0 otherwise)
161 Define as 1 if you want the C library versions of memset and
162 memcpy called in realloc and calloc (otherwise macro versions are used).
163 At least on some platforms, the simple macro versions usually
164 outperform libc versions.
165 HAVE_MMAP (default: defined as 1)
166 Define to non-zero to optionally make malloc() use mmap() to
167 allocate very large blocks.
168 HAVE_MREMAP (default: defined as 0 unless Linux libc set)
169 Define to non-zero to optionally make realloc() use mremap() to
170 reallocate very large blocks.
171 malloc_getpagesize (default: derived from system #includes)
172 Either a constant or routine call returning the system page size.
173 HAVE_USR_INCLUDE_MALLOC_H (default: NOT defined)
174 Optionally define if you are on a system with a /usr/include/malloc.h
175 that declares struct mallinfo. It is not at all necessary to
176 define this even if you do, but will ensure consistency.
177 INTERNAL_SIZE_T (default: size_t)
178 Define to a 32-bit type (probably `unsigned int') if you are on a
179 64-bit machine, yet do not want or need to allow malloc requests of
180 greater than 2^31 to be handled. This saves space, especially for
182 INTERNAL_LINUX_C_LIB (default: NOT defined)
183 Defined only when compiled as part of Linux libc.
184 Also note that there is some odd internal name-mangling via defines
185 (for example, internally, `malloc' is named `mALLOc') needed
186 when compiling in this case. These look funny but don't otherwise
188 WIN32 (default: undefined)
189 Define this on MS win (95, nt) platforms to compile in sbrk emulation.
190 LACKS_UNISTD_H (default: undefined if not WIN32)
191 Define this if your system does not have a <unistd.h>.
192 LACKS_SYS_PARAM_H (default: undefined if not WIN32)
193 Define this if your system does not have a <sys/param.h>.
194 MORECORE (default: sbrk)
195 The name of the routine to call to obtain more memory from the system.
196 MORECORE_FAILURE (default: -1)
197 The value returned upon failure of MORECORE.
198 MORECORE_CLEARS (default 1)
199 true (1) if the routine mapped to MORECORE zeroes out memory (which
201 DEFAULT_TRIM_THRESHOLD
203 DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD
205 Default values of tunable parameters (described in detail below)
206 controlling interaction with host system routines (sbrk, mmap, etc).
207 These values may also be changed dynamically via mallopt(). The
208 preset defaults are those that give best performance for typical
210 USE_DL_PREFIX (default: undefined)
211 Prefix all public routines with the string 'dl'. Useful to
212 quickly avoid procedure declaration conflicts and linker symbol
213 conflicts with existing memory allocation routines.

267 Because freed chunks may be overwritten with link fields, this
268 malloc will often die when freed memory is overwritten by user
269 programs. This can be very effective (albeit in an annoying way)
270 in helping track down dangling pointers.
272 If you compile with -DDEBUG, a number of assertion checks are
273 enabled that will catch more memory errors. You probably won't be
274 able to make much sense of the actual assertion errors, but they
275 should help you locate incorrectly overwritten memory. The
276 checking is fairly extensive, and will slow down execution
277 noticeably. Calling malloc_stats or mallinfo with DEBUG set will
278 attempt to check every non-mmapped allocated and free chunk in the
279 course of computing the summmaries. (By nature, mmapped regions
280 cannot be checked very much automatically.)
282 Setting DEBUG may also be helpful if you are trying to modify
283 this code. The assertions in the check routines spell out in more
284 detail the assumptions and invariants underlying the algorithms.
289 INTERNAL_SIZE_T is the word-size used for internal bookkeeping
290 of chunk sizes. On a 64-bit machine, you can reduce malloc
291 overhead by defining INTERNAL_SIZE_T to be a 32 bit `unsigned int'
292 at the expense of not being able to handle requests greater than
293 2^31. This limitation is hardly ever a concern; you are encouraged
294 to set this. However, the default version is the same as size_t.

302 REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES should be set if a call to
303 realloc with zero bytes should be the same as a call to free.
304 Some people think it should. Otherwise, since this malloc
305 returns a unique pointer for malloc(0), so does realloc(p, 0).

342 macro versions are defined here.
344 USE_MEMCPY should be defined as 1 if you actually want to

565 This version of malloc supports the standard SVID/XPG mallinfo
566 routine that returns a struct containing the same kind of
567 information you can get from malloc_stats. It should work on
568 any SVID/XPG compliant system that has a /usr/include/malloc.h
569 defining struct mallinfo. (If you'd like to install such a thing
570 yourself, cut out the preliminary declarations as described above
571 and below and save them in a malloc.h file. But there's no
572 compelling reason to bother to do this.)
574 The main declaration needed is the mallinfo struct that is returned
575 (by-copy) by mallinfo(). The SVID/XPG malloinfo struct contains a
576 bunch of fields, most of which are not even meaningful in this
577 version of malloc. Some of these fields are are instead filled by
578 mallinfo() with other numbers that might possibly be of interest.
580 HAVE_USR_INCLUDE_MALLOC_H should be set if you have a

582 mallinfo. If so, it is included; else an SVID2/XPG2 compliant

631 M_TRIM_THRESHOLD is the maximum amount of unused top-most memory
632 to keep before releasing via malloc_trim in free().
634 Automatic trimming is mainly useful in long-lived programs.
635 Because trimming via sbrk can be slow on some systems, and can
636 sometimes be wasteful (in cases where programs immediately
637 afterward allocate more large chunks) the value should be high
638 enough so that your overall system performance would improve by
641 The trim threshold and the mmap control parameters (see below)
642 can be traded off with one another. Trimming and mmapping are
643 two different ways of releasing unused memory back to the
644 system. Between these two, it is often possible to keep
645 system-level demands of a long-lived program down to a bare
646 minimum. For example, in one test suite of sessions measuring
647 the XF86 X server on Linux, using a trim threshold of 128K and a
648 mmap threshold of 192K led to near-minimal long term resource
651 If you are using this malloc in a long-lived program, it should
652 pay to experiment with these values. As a rough guide, you
653 might set to a value close to the average size of a process
654 (program) running on your system. Releasing this much memory
655 would allow such a process to run in memory. Generally, it's
656 worth it to tune for trimming rather tham memory mapping when a
657 program undergoes phases where several large chunks are
658 allocated and released in ways that can reuse each other's
659 storage, perhaps mixed with phases where there are no such
660 chunks at all. And in well-behaved long-lived programs,
661 controlling release of large blocks via trimming versus mapping
664 However, in most programs, these parameters serve mainly as
665 protection against the system-level effects of carrying around
666 massive amounts of unneeded memory. Since frequent calls to
667 sbrk, mmap, and munmap otherwise degrade performance, the default
668 parameters are set to relatively high values that serve only as
671 The default trim value is high enough to cause trimming only in
672 fairly extreme (by current memory consumption standards) cases.
673 It must be greater than page size to have any useful effect. To
674 disable trimming completely, you can set to (unsigned long)(-1);
680 #ifndef DEFAULT_TOP_PAD
681 #define DEFAULT_TOP_PAD (0)
685 M_TOP_PAD is the amount of extra `padding' space to allocate or
686 retain whenever sbrk is called. It is used in two ways internally:
688 * When sbrk is called to extend the top of the arena to satisfy
689 a new malloc request, this much padding is added to the sbrk
692 * When malloc_trim is called automatically from free(),
693 it is used as the `pad' argument.
695 In both cases, the actual amount of padding is rounded
696 so that the end of the arena is always a system page boundary.
698 The main reason for using padding is to avoid calling sbrk so
699 often. Having even a small pad greatly reduces the likelihood
700 that nearly every malloc request during program start-up (or
701 after trimming) will invoke sbrk, which needlessly wastes
704 Automatic rounding-up to page-size units is normally sufficient
705 to avoid measurable overhead, so the default is 0. However, in
706 systems where sbrk is relatively slow, it can pay to increase
707 this value, at the expense of carrying around more memory than
713 #ifndef DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD
714 #define DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD (128 * 1024)
719 M_MMAP_THRESHOLD is the request size threshold for using mmap()
720 to service a request. Requests of at least this size that cannot
721 be allocated using already-existing space will be serviced via mmap.
722 (If enough normal freed space already exists it is used instead.)
724 Using mmap segregates relatively large chunks of memory so that
725 they can be individually obtained and released from the host
726 system. A request serviced through mmap is never reused by any
727 other request (at least not directly; the system may just so
728 happen to remap successive requests to the same locations).
730 Segregating space in this way has the benefit that mmapped space
731 can ALWAYS be individually released back to the system, which
732 helps keep the system level memory demands of a long-lived
733 program low. Mapped memory can never become `locked' between
734 other chunks, as can happen with normally allocated chunks, which
735 menas that even trimming via malloc_trim would not release them.
737 However, it has the disadvantages that:
739 1. The space cannot be reclaimed, consolidated, and then
740 used to service later requests, as happens with normal chunks.
741 2. It can lead to more wastage because of mmap page alignment
743 3. It causes malloc performance to be more dependent on host
744 system memory management support routines which may vary in
745 implementation quality and may impose arbitrary
746 limitations. Generally, servicing a request via normal
747 malloc steps is faster than going through a system's mmap.
749 All together, these considerations should lead you to use mmap
750 only for relatively large requests.
756 #ifndef DEFAULT_MMAP_MAX
758 #define DEFAULT_MMAP_MAX (64)
760 #define DEFAULT_MMAP_MAX (0)
765 M_MMAP_MAX is the maximum number of requests to simultaneously
766 service using mmap. This parameter exists because:
768 1. Some systems have a limited number of internal tables for
770 2. In most systems, overreliance on mmap can degrade overall
772 3. If a program allocates many large regions, it is probably
773 better off using normal sbrk-based allocation routines that
774 can reclaim and reallocate normal heap memory. Using a
775 small value allows transition into this mode after the
776 first few allocations.
778 Setting to 0 disables all use of mmap. If HAVE_MMAP is not set,
779 the default value is 0, and attempts to set it to non-zero values
780 in mallopt will fail.
785 USE_DL_PREFIX will prefix all public routines with the string 'dl'.
786 Useful to quickly avoid procedure declaration conflicts and linker
787 symbol conflicts with existing memory allocation routines.

796 Special defines for linux libc
798 Except when compiled using these special defines for Linux libc
799 using weak aliases, this malloc is NOT designed to work in
800 multithreaded applications. No semaphores or other concurrency
801 control are provided to ensure that multiple malloc or free calls
802 don't run at the same time, which could be disasterous. A single
803 semaphore could be used across malloc, realloc, and free (which is
804 essentially the effect of the linux weak alias approach). It would
805 be hard to obtain finer granularity.
