Done and done. Just a heads-up if you try to comment on the issue and encounter a page with no content, it’s because you’re not logged in. - Eric On May 31, 2014, at 12:09 PM, Andrew Fresh wrote: > I opened a ticket with upstream to use OpenBSD's malloc by default. > > https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=122000 > > Perl was setup to use perl's malloc on OpenBSD by default in 2010. > > https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75742 > > > The perl in OpenBSD base has always used OpenBSD's malloc, and I believe > that is what OpenBSD users will expect, even building perl themselves. > > If you have opinions that may sway the perl5-porters, please chime in on > the above ticket #122000. > > l8rZ, > -- > andrew - http://afresh1.com > > People who invent random theories which only defend the vendor must have > been beaten as children.

This is something I've wanted to look at, but haven't had the time to do. It means having a bit of leeway when you run out of memory... Might come in handy in order to let pkg_add clean up a wee little bit before crashing...

Requested upstream patch to use OpenBSD's malloc
I opened a ticket with upstream to use OpenBSD's malloc by default. https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=122000 Perl was setup to use perl's malloc on OpenBSD by default in 2010. https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75742 The perl in OpenBSD base has always used OpenBSD's malloc, and I believe that is what OpenBSD users will expect, even building perl themselves. If you have opinions that may sway the perl5-porters, please chime in on the above ticket #122000. l8rZ, -- andrew - http://afresh1.com People who invent random theories which only defend the vendor must have been beaten as children. Beaten with sticks. At least, that's my theory. -- Theo De Raadt
