There is a strong feeling in some parts of the open-source community that nobody should ever attempt to build their own memory allocator. The malloc/free from the standard library is believed to be good enough for every situation and any attempt to work around standard malloc/free is discouraged. SQLite uses system malloc/free by default, as you know. But even the presence of memsys5 in the source tree as a compile-time option is controversial in some circles. I put memsys5 there for good reasons, but they are obscure reasons, which is why memsys5 is usually omitted from the build. So I'm wondering: Why are *you* using memsys5 rather than malloc/free from the standard library? -- D.
