Yes, I'd expect the memory usage to decrease if you build with NO_MALLOC_EXTRAS, since redzone overhead is 32 bytes per object. Do you see any evidence of unbounded X memory usage though? > A make.conf knob would be highly appreciated here :) Why not just append to CFLAGS in make.conf? NO_MALLOC_EXTRAS is a development-only flag, since the malloc debug features will be disabled for releases, so a make.conf knob would have no relevance to releases. Unless there's serious worry about cpp namespace pollution, I don't understand the need for the patch you provided. Thanks, JasonReceived on Tue Jan 31 2006 - 05:00:43 UTC
