> Key: DISPATCH-121
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-121
> Project: Qpid Dispatch
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Container
> Affects Versions: 0.3
> Reporter: Alan Conway
> Assignee: Alan Conway
> Fix For: 0.5

> Attachments: disable_pools.diff

>
> Memory checking tools like valgrind can't give much help when we use a custom
> allocator.
> Make it possible to build dispatch using malloc/free instead so it can be
> checked with valgrind.
> This is not the ideal solution. It tests the code that uses the allocator but
> does not test the allocator itself.
> A better solution is to instrument the allocator for valgrind use, see:
> http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/mc-manual.html#mc-manual.mempools
> However this is more complex and doesn't help with other memory debugging
> tools. Disabling pools at build time is a useful first step. It also lets us
> test performance of the pool allocator against plain malloc. A full valgrind
> integration with pool allocation is a possible future exercise.
