Tracker bug for discussion to use libmalloc or alternatives on macOS |
|
Issue descriptionOn macOS, we currently use libmalloc. We could roll our own allocator: e.g. tcmalloc, jemalloc, etc. I'm not aware of any significant evaluation of tradeoffs. libmalloc doesn't work well with cross-thread frees: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=897064 libmalloc's implementation of nanozone doesn't free memory on 10.13 and older: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=861939#c15 |
