___ Begin malloc statistics ___
Number of CPUs: 1
Number of arenas: 1
Cache slots: 256
Chunk size: 16777216 (2^24)
Quantum size: 16 (2^4)
Pointer size: 4
Number of bins: 128
Maximum bin size: 2096
Assertions enabled
Redzone size: 16
Allocated: 22272, space used: 33554432


Does this mean they are enabled? and if so, how can i disable them?
