Hello everyone, I am facing issues regarding custom memory allocation control in WebKit. I noticed that on April 8, 2009, WebKit/JavaScriptCore/WTF has a new file addition. The newly added file is “fastAllocBase.h” as a result of changes proposed by Paul Pedriana. However, it seems that the proposed changes have not been fully incorporated in WebKit due to required level of effort.
I have been facing similar problems with memory allocations with WebKit where there are number of overloaded new operators provided by different classes. I just wanted to know whether it is possible that all the memory allocation calls inside WebKit be routed to user-defined allocation routines. Same should be the case with memory deallocations. I am concerned about control over memory allocations as I am trying to use WebKit on an embedded platform where memory resources are limited and hence the consumption has to be very closely monitored. The WTF STL container classes like Vector, HashSet etc. misbehave as they attempt to allocate memory at runtime through "new" and that new maps to compiler heap memory allocation functions which becomes a problem on embedded platforms. Thanks. Regards, Javed
