Yeah, G_SLICE affects glib and we just piggy-backed our own allocator disable off that variable too for simplicity so both got disabled. I think its probably worth keeping setting G_SLICE in the current scripts and .mk files where we currently have it so that it continues to disable the glib allocator for the gtk[2|3] and other pieces that call glib stuff _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
