Summary: Review Request: openbsd-malloc - Alternative malloc() implementation


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235731





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2007-04-11 02:34 EST -------
Some remarks:

1. MUSTFIX:

This spec doesn't apply $RPM_BUILD_ROOT. It compiles and places its files
directly into */BUILD.

One way to approach this:
%setup -c -T

2. Is there an agreement with the glibc developers upon using the name
libmalloc.*? To me, this name appears as too general.

3. http://mr.himki.net/index-alloc.html is in a Cyrillan written language
(Russian?). An English version would be helpful, because except of the source
code there doesn't seem to be any other documentation.

4. The source file seems to be intended to be used as a preloaded module:

>From the source code:
 * Compilation: gcc -shared -fPIC -O2 OpenBSD_malloc_Linux.c -o malloc.so   
 * Launching: LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/malloc.so firefox

I am not sure if packaging it as a library is a wise decision.
