The heap profiling functionality in jemalloc isn't very useful without pprof. Also, when I first added heap profiling to jemalloc, there was a critical bug in pprof that remained unfixed for quite some time (IIRC, more than six months, across two releases). At the time, I had little choice but to package a patched pprof, and even when patches aren't necessary, I think it's a good idea to provide pprof with jemalloc. However, I'm open to naming it something else to avoid packaging conflicts. Any suggestions? pprof-jemalloc is cumbersome, jeprof strikes me as presumptuous (though it matches the default prefix for the files jemalloc outputs), and that's about the extent of my naming creativity.
