free in sense of libc's free(3)? It's call count is close to zero.
Is mc a memory allocation intensive beast? glib allows to insert own plugs
for malloc/free:
glib/gmem.h:
void g_mem_set_vtable (GMemVTable * vtable);
struct _GMemVTable
{
gpointer (*malloc) (gsize n_bytes);
gpointer (*realloc) (gpointer mem, gsize n_bytes);
void (*free) (gpointer mem); /* optional; set to NULL if not used
! */
gpointer (*calloc) (gsize n_blocks, gsize n_block_bytes);
gpointer (*try_malloc) (gsize n_bytes);
gpointer (*try_realloc) (gpointer mem, gsize n_bytes);
};
What heap object's lifetime bothers you? There is also g_mem_chunk_* for
fixed sized objects suitable for dentries.
Would be nice to see the problem for solution.
