> So are you proposing to use the system allocator on Windows? I’m proposing a two step process:
(1) Use the system allocator on Windows (and GTK). (2) If a port maintainer cares to optimize a given port, without too much disruption to mainline code, they may do so. FWIW, If I were conducting (2) for Windows, malloc would be pretty far down the list of things I started porting. > The current malloc logic has been the source of a number of mysterious > crashes on Windows, so reverting to the system allocator might be a good > thing for stability.
