Source: jemalloc Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Jemalloc comes with a handful of very useful allocator profiling/diagnostic capabilities, that will be extremely useful when trying to debug some memory leak in a running production application. In order to do this, it is needed that jemalloc is built with the --enable-prof configure switch. Note that the profiling capabilities are disabled by default, so that enabling this does not cause any practical performance overhead. Users may decide to enable it by using the MALLOC_CONF variable or the /etc/malloc.conf config file.
I don't think there is any good reason not to enable this by default in debian. The patch I include will accomplish just that.
