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.
