TCMalloc : Thread-Caching Malloc

[Joe]

any chance to add TCMalloc into lusca source code as alternative
malloc besides dlmalloc ?

[Adrian Chadd]

Well, I'm tempted to actually remove dlmalloc entirely from the codebase.
It can be linked in at compile and/or run time.

You can use tcmalloc yourself during build and run. I've done it before myself.
It doesn't have to be in the codebase. :)

Guys.
One Question.
isn't TCMalloc memory hungry ??? at which limit would the trade of memory vs performance give us a good result???


much regards

Its easy to link at compile time 

if you use Redhat system (Fedora CentOS Scientific .... etc ) 

yum install google-perftools google-perftools-devel

then 

when u want to compile 

inside Lusca_Head dir 

./configure 'LIBS=-ltcmalloc'

much regards
