Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-05-16 14:33:01 UTC
Hi,

please bump dev-libs/jemalloc to v3.6.0:

* 3.6.0 (March 31, 2014)

  This version contains a critical bug fix for a regression present in 3.5.0 and
  3.5.1.

  Bug fixes:
  - Fix a regression in arena_chunk_alloc() that caused crashes during
    small/large allocation if chunk allocation failed.  In the absence of this
    bug, chunk allocation failure would result in allocation failure, e.g.  NULL
    return from malloc().  This regression was introduced in 3.5.0.
  - Fix backtracing for gcc intrinsics-based backtracing by specifying
    -fno-omit-frame-pointer to gcc.  Note that the application (and all the
    libraries it links to) must also be compiled with this option for
    backtracing to be reliable.
  - Use dss allocation precedence for huge allocations as well as small/large
    allocations.
  - Fix test assertion failure message formatting.  This bug did not manifect on
    x86_64 systems because of implementation subtleties in va_list.
  - Fix inconsequential test failures for hash and SFMT code.

  New features:
  - Support heap profiling on FreeBSD.  This feature depends on the proc
    filesystem being mounted during heap profile dumping.


Reproducible: Always
