gperftools-2.17
gperftools 2.17 is out!
We have had a few relatively simple updates since the RC release.
-
Salvatore Dipietro has contributed SB instruction support for spinlock delay loops on newer ARMs.
-
libgcc backtrace capturing method now handles deep backtraces better.
-
PPC+musl users can now workaround some issues building PPC-specific backtrace code by adding TCMALLOC_DISABLE_PPC_FRAME_POINTER_BACKTRACER preprocessor define. Much thanks to Josef Schlehofer for reporting the problem. See details in https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools/issues/1602.
-
Jackie Cui has contributed a small change to the page heap span selection logic that makes a big difference in reducing the amount of used memory in some workloads. See https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools/pull/1604 for further details.
Much thanks to all the contributors.
