Re: [AOLSERVER] tcmalloc

[aT]

I understand developers might be able to understand what you mentioned , being a sysadmin it is a bit hard for me to understand LD_PRELOAD and compiling tcl not to use threaded allocator .  i would really appreciate  if the above mentioned "basically" paragraph be explained more . "Basically what you need to do is compile Tcl so that it doesn't use the threaded allocator, and instead uses regular malloc() and free(). " I tried in tcl source "./configure --help" to find out how can i do what u mentioned , but could not find any help how to , not use,  threaded allocator and instead use malloc() and free() . " Then compile tcmalloc,  " If i compile tcmalloc is this a standalone procedure or do i need to mention aolserver location in anyway . " and finally LD_PRELOAD tcmalloc at AOLserver startup time. This will override malloc() and free()." How do i do that ?

Hope that helps! - n On 12/11/06, aT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Nathan Folkman wrote: Anyone tried Google's tcmalloc with AOLserver instead of using Tcl's threaded allocator?
