Hi,
Just wanted to share this fun fact with you all.
Here's my test command line:
curl -sL https://google.com -o /dev/null
I ran this command line with 4 recent curl versions and I counted the total
number of allocations (using the script shown below). These are only
allocations done by curl and libcurl code, the dependencies' allocations are
not included.
* 7.70.0
Allocations: 415 Maximum allocated: 239432
* 7.78.0
Allocations: 391 Maximum allocated: 201926
* 7.81.0
Allocations: 391 Maximum allocated: 201700
* 7.82.0-DEV (as of git master right now)
Allocations: 174 Maximum allocated: 201684
This is a 55% reduction in number of allocations from 7.81.0 (while
maintaining and even shrinking the max amount a tiny bit)! The bulk of this
improvement comes from this single commit:
https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/955cb99130f7c
The test script, requires a curl built debug-enabled:
#!/bin/sh
export CURL_MEMDEBUG=$HOME/tmp/curlmem.log
./src/curl -sL https://google.com -o /dev/null
./tests/memanalyze.pl -v $HOME/tmp/curlmem.log
